Anyone ever recover from this ?
No, but you might be able to consult /proc/partitions. On my system, for example, I see the following: gr2130666:/home/gapinski # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 78150744 hda 3 1 40131 hda1 3 2 265072 hda2 3 3 1 hda3 3 4 61071097 hda4 3 5 1028128 hda5 3 6 7354978 hda6 3 7 8385898 hda7 253 0 8388608 dm-0 253 1 33554432 dm-1 253 2 4194304 dm-2 gr2130666:/home/gapinski # sfdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 155061 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Warning: The partition table looks like it was made for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 155061/16/63). For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
