Package: testdisk Version: 7.0-3+b4 Severity: normal
Hello, I wanted to use testdisk on a disk, but it gives me this: ------ cut Analyse Disk /dev/sda - 1801 GB / 1678 GiB - CHS 219051 255 63 hdr_size=92 hdr_lba_self=1 hdr_lba_alt=7814037167 (expected 3519069871) hdr_lba_start=34 hdr_lba_end=7814037134 hdr_lba_table=2 hdr_entries=128 hdr_entsz=128 Partition table type (auto): None ------ cut In contrast, gdisk gives me this: ------ cut Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: damaged ... Recovery/transformation command (? for help): i Using 1 Partition GUID code: YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY (Linux filesystem) Partition unique GUID: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX First sector: 2048 (at 1024.0 KiB) Last sector: 7814035455 (at 3.6 TiB) Partition size: 7814033408 sectors (3.6 TiB) Attribute flags: 0000000000000000 Partition name: 'correct-partition-name' ------ cut So, there is a GPT table there, somewhere. It would be nice if testdisk would do a better job with disks having a GPT partition table.
