Just backup your partition table next time. That will cost only about 512 Byte (actually, less than that) and save you some stress. > Should I run 'hdparm -z' after creating new patition in > future? Or reboot/kexec. Or use a similar functionality built into fdisk. > And because I don't want to tease you any more, please give > me some last solution what shoudl I do (forlorn hope). I did already in my last answer. Extract that partition (i.e. copy it onto another drive) or try to recreate a valid partition table. Gpart told you where the partition is hiding. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
