No, it probably isn't. |

In order to be sure next time, do a "cat /proc/partitions" after using |
| 15 |
fdisk. That will show what the kernel thinks your partition layout is. |

Just backup your partition table next time. That will cost only about |
| 22 |
512 Byte (actually, less than that) and save you some stress. |

Or reboot/kexec. Or use a similar functionality built into fdisk. |

I did already in my last answer. Extract that partition (i.e. copy it |
| 33 |
onto another drive) or try to recreate a valid partition table. Gpart |
| 34 |
told you where the partition is hiding. |
