I have a HD from which the partition table is partional deleted. and I'm trying to restore it with gpart.
I read the man pages and mailing about the suppject but can't seem to find the answer.
Maybe somebody here can help .
I have a 40 GB maxtor HD. and was trying a reinstall of knoppix 3.4
This was the partition table before problems; hda1 - 39MB XFSfilesystem, hda5 -494MB linuxswap , hda6 - 7,4GB XFS , hda7 - 19GB XFS and hda8 - 11,8GB XFS.
Now hda7 and hda8 entries where deleted (not formatted) and on these partitions was back-up of the first partitions.
I only need these 2 partitions back (hda7 and hda cause I was resizing and formating the other parttitions
when it happened.
here is ouput of gpart ;
oot@ttyp0[floppy]# gpart /dev/hda
Begin scan...
Possible partition(SGI XFS filesystem), size(34mb), offset(0mb)

Possible partition(SGI XFS filesystem), size(19088mb), offset(8159mb)
Possible partition(SGI XFS filesystem), size(11826mb), offset(27251mb)
End scan.
Checking partitions...
* Warning: more than one extended partition: 2.

Ok.
Guessed primary partition table:
Primary partition(1)
type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem)
size: 34mb #s(70656) s(63-7071
chs: (0/1/1)-(4/102/33)d (0/1/1)-(4/102/33)r
Primary partition(2)
type: 015(0x0F)(Extended DOS, LBA)
size: 6644mb #s(13607055) s(80325-13687379)
chs: (5/0/1)-(851/254/63)d (5/0/1)-(851/254/63)r
Primary partition(3)
type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem)
size: 11826mb #s(2422164 s(55812015-80033662)
chs: (1023/254/63)-(1023/254/63)d (3474/35/1)-(4981/220/3r
Primary partition(4)
type: 000(0x00)(unused)
size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0)
chs: (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r
the scan is good , but the partitioncheck and guessed partitiontable are not good I think.
I only need back the last 2 entrys of the scan section.
Possible partition(SGI XFS filesystem), size(19088mb), offset(8159mb)
Possible partition(SGI XFS filesystem), size(11826mb), offset(27251mb)
What parameters or options should I give to gpart to write back a partiontable with at least these 2 partitions?
ps here is a the info I have about disk;
hda1 startsector 63 39MB XFS
80262sectors
cyl 0 to 4
hda5 startsector 80388 494 MB linux swap
1012032 sectors
cyl 5 to 67
hda6 startsector 1092483 7,4 GB XFS
15550857 sectors
cyl 68 to 1035
hda7 and hda8 +- 30GB (together) XFS
63399924 sectors
cyl 1040 to 4982

Hope somebody can help,
