gpart (Guess PC-type hard disk partitions)
Gpart is a small tool which tries to guess what partitions are on a
PC type, MBR-partitioned hard disk in case the primary partition table
was damaged.
Gpart works by scanning through the device (or file) given on
the command line on a sector basis. Each guessing module is asked
if it thinks a filesystem it knows about could start at a given
sector. Several filesystem guessing modules are built in.
Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types:
DOS/Windows FAT, Linux ext2 and swap, OS/2 HPFS, Windows NTFS,
FreeBSD and Solaris/x86 disklabels, Minix FS, QNX 4 FS, Reiser FS,
LVM and LVM2 physical volumes, BTRFS, BeOS FS, SGI XFS.
