Hi, folks. I managed to shoot myself in the foot yesterday during a
kickstart installation. I was installing to a PATA drive on a system
with a second, SCSI drive. I was using the SCSI drive to store the
files I wanted to preserve. Unfortunately, I had a "clearpart --linux"
command in the kickstart file. (For reasons I won't describe I was
"borrowing" a kickstart file that we had used successfully on systems
with only a single disk drive.)
I suspect that all of the files I need are still present on the disk, as
there has been no use of the disk since the clearpart operation. I'm
looking for some partition-recovery software that will restore the
previous partitions.
I've seen a couple of commercial products that claim to recover ext3
partitions. I don't mind paying some money for this, but the products
I've found so far all assume that you've got the drive on a Windows
machine. I guess we could arrange to move the drive to a Windows
system, but I wonder if there's any software that's linux-based that we
could use for this task.
Thanks.
- Mike
