Recovering lost (Linux) Partitions
During my struggles with the partition table of my RAID, I accidentily deleted partitions on the wrong disk. Very stupid as one of the partitions was part of a LVM Volume Group storing my original data. I tried several tools to recover my partitions.
parted, gpart and rescuept all were not able to get the right partition table back. Then I read something about testdisk. Testdisk was not only able to recover my primary ext3 and swap partition but also recognized the LVM2 partition. And the most usefull feature of testdisk is a progress indicator which is missed painfully with the other tools.
