I haven't used gpart, or parted for this job, but have successfully used |
| 11 |
testdisk. I think I ran it either from a CD, or a floppy and it was able to |
| 12 |
find the last few partition tables that I had set up on that disk. I chose |
| 13 |
the desired partition table (it was the most recent) and off it went from |
| 14 |
there. I have to say I was well impressed with it. Must have |
| 15 |
application. :) |

Good luck. |

(PS. [OT slightly] Don't mean to start another flamewar about the pro's & |
| 20 |
con's, but would this sort of recovery work the same with a LVM? I would |
| 21 |
assume that it would, because the LVM is sort of a superstructure, but I do |
| 22 |
not know how the conventional partition table relates to the LV tables.) |
