Hello,

this morning I had to face an unusual prompt on my machine.

I found that the partition table of /dev/sda had vanished.

I restored it with testdisk. It found one partition, but I am quite sure there was a /boot partition in front of that which was not found.

Now, running btrfsck fails:

root@homeserver:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Is there a way to let btrfs search for the start of the partiton?

I do have a backup; thus it is not fatal. But some data on the disk is more recent than my back up (of course)

Regards,

Hendrik
