[Trisquel-users] Re : deleted ext4 partition
Substitute "#" with "echo" and type enter. The command will be printed but after Shell expansion (typically the wildcard, *, but also the variables, etc.). Try for instance: $ echo cp /var/log/syslog* $HOME Here it returns: cp /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog.2.gz /var/log/syslog.3.gz /var/log/syslog.4.gz /var/log/syslog.5.gz /home/banana Once the command checked, go back a line in the history (C-p or the up arrow), move the cursor to the beginning of the line (C-a or Home) delete "echo" (M-d) and type Enter to execute.

You overwrote with zeros ("if=/dev/zero") the beginning of /dev/sda1
("of=/dev/sda1"), 2048 blocks ("count=2048") of size 1k ("bs=1k"). 2 MB.
Almost nothing! There is much to be rescued if you want to: the other
partitions are intact and a program like PhotoRec can recover almost all
files on /dev/sda1: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
But does /dev/sda1 even contain user data? It makes no sense recovering
system files: reinstall. Now if /dev/sda1 only contains user data, there is
nothing to reinstall: the system is intact.
