I'm trying to recover a reiserfs partition, which vanished shortly after
creating it using debian 2.2 and the 2.4.3 kernel, and running the
benchmarking script that comes with reiserfs.
I'm not sure why it vanished, and I am hoping that the fs and data is
still there; that it's just the partitition table entry that is wrong.
I was going to try gpart, but that doesn't even see the still existing
ext2 partition let alone the reiserfs one. Is there an fdisk type program
that would let me create a new partition table entry of type reiserfs, and
would that hopefully allow me to access the fs again?
Here's what fdisk thinks I've got:
Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 782 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 391 1576480+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 392 435 177408 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 * 436 608 697536 83 Linux
And here's what I had and that's Gone missing:
/dev/hda4 609 782 701568 ? reiserfs
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of playing with
dd to see if the files from hda4 are still on the disk, and as a worst
case recovery, grabbing the whole filesystem as one data stream and then
fiddling around trying to split that into the individual files (around
100mb).
