Okay, well this script isn't perfect and it sure won't help after the
problem, but it will save all possible MBRs and fdisk output for a bunch
of candidate disks:
#!/bin/bash
AWK=/usr/bin/awk
BASENAME=/usr/bin/basename
CAT=/bin/cat
DD=/bin/dd
FDISK=/sbin/fdisk
GREP=/bin/grep
LS=/bin/ls
SORT=/usr/bin/sort
TEE=/usr/bin/tee
SAVE_MBR_DIR=/backup/mbr-save
SAVE_FDISK_DIR=/backup/fdisk-save
function save_mbr () {
CMD="$DD if=/dev/$DRV \
of=$SAVE_MBR_DIR/mbr_backup_${DRV}.bin \
bs=512 \
count=1"
echo $CMD
eval $CMD
echo
}
function save_fdisk () {
OUTFILE=$SAVE_FDISK_DIR/fdisk_backup_${DRV}.out
CMD="$FDISK -l /dev/$DRV > $OUTFILE"
echo $CMD
eval $CMD
echo
$CAT $OUTFILE
echo "======================"
echo
}
(
if [ ! -d $SAVE_MBR_DIR ]; then mkdir -p $SAVE_MBR_DIR; fi
if [ ! -d $SAVE_FDISK_DIR ]; then mkdir -p $SAVE_FDISK_DIR; fi
for DRV in $($LS -lart /dev/disk/by-id/|$GREP -e \/sd[a-f]$ -e
\/hd[a-f]$|$AWK -F \/ '{print $NF}'|$SORT -u)
do
save_mbr
save_fdisk
done
) 2>&1 |$TEE /var/log/$($BASENAME $0).out
