So... I lost my partition table. I'm willing to spend a little time
on this. Is there a byte sequence that I might recognise in a
superblock or at the start of a partition? I know this isn't an easy
task, but man 5 fs leads me to believe that I might find:
#define FS_MAGIC 0x011954 /* the fast filesystem magic number */
#define FS_OKAY 0x7c269d38 /* superblock checksum */
... but I don't see those bytes. Any hints?
I'm willing to post a description of a solution for the FAQ if I can
find the filesystems.
Dave.
