parted: rescue
2.4.9 rescue
------------
-- Command: rescue START END
Rescue a lost partition that used to be located approximately
between START and END. If such a partition is found, Parted will
ask you if you want to create a partition for it. This is useful
if you accidently deleted a partition with parted's rm command, for
example.
Example:
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-8063.507 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 8056.032 primary ext3
(parted) rm
Partition number? 1
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-8063.507 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
OUCH! We deleted our ext3 partition!!! Parted comes to the
rescue...
(parted) rescue
Start? 0
End? 8056
Information: A ext3 primary partition was found at 0.031MB ->
8056.030MB. Do you want to add it to the partition table?
Yes/No/Cancel? y
