GPT partitions mind you One of the nice things about GPT is that it stores a backup partition table in a second spot near the end of the disk. It may be possible to recover it. Try running 'gdisk' on your drive, then hit 'r' to switch to recovery mode. Try the 'c' recovery command to load the backup partition table from disk. More details and some other things you might want to try are at http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/repairing.html Do keep in mind that if you have the space, you should make an image of your disk before trying any recovery tools. If you don't have the space, then you should buy, say, an external USB drive to *make* the space, and use it for backups once you're done recovering your data (if that's possible.) This wouldn't have been a major problem if you had backups in the first place :) -- Calvin Walton <calvin.walton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
