Restoring partition table.
Hello, bad news for me - I lost partition table in my 1Tb hard drive. All what I have it's fdisk output of working drive: Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00087837 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 973 7811072 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 9732189 9765888 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda32189 42715 325529600 8e Linux LVM Swap isn't changed, but I can't create manually sda2 and sda3 partitions - when I set count of cylinders, count of blocks is not equal with original table (I think because I used different versions of fdisk for installation and restoring). Can I convert fdisk output to sfdisk dump? How to convert count of blocks to number of sectors for using with sfdisk? What can I do in this situation?

What can I do in this situation? I would use Testdisk (should be in the repos), rather than try to copy the partition table from another disk. Have a look at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step#Partition_table_recovery for some ideas. As ever with this stuff, be really careful that the partitions are correct before writing anything to the disk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
