I've been fiddling with backups here and managed to create two 2Gig-files
before I realised I probably needed a newer 'dd' to create and process
these huge files (complete filesystem dumps).
In the process the partition table for /dev/hdc got wrecked (it doesn't
seem very difficult to do create confusing partition tables with cfdisk)
and right now I cant access this disk at all, except for e.g. 'dd
if=/dev/hdc bs=512 count=1 | hexdump'.
'strace fdisk /dev/hdc' confirms my partition table hunc and shows that
one of the logical partitions is located a few kilometers outside of
Jupiter - thoroughly unreachable. Kinda annoying since I _know_ it would be
alright to edit this table using DOS+diskedit.
My hope right now is that this program sfdisk treats the partition table
with a bit more care - I'd really like to keep the first partition,
/dev/hdc1. So I'd _really_ appreciate it if someone could mail me an URL
for the binary or perhaps post it directly.
