What is Gpart?

Gpart package is a Guess PC disk partition table to find lost partitions. It is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged, incorrect or deleted. It is also good at finding and listing the types, locations, and sizes of inadvertently-deleted partitions, both primary and logical.

Currently supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types:

  • BeOS filesystem type.
  • BtrFS filesystem type.
  • FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD disklabel sub-partitioning scheme used on Intel platforms.
  • Linux second extended filesystem (Ext2).
  • MS-DOS FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 “filesystems”.
  • IBM OS/2 High-Performance filesystem.
  • Linux LVM and LVM2 physical volumes.
  • Linux swap partitions (versions 0 and 1).
  • The Minix operating system filesystem type.
  • MS Windows NT/2000 filesystem.
  • QNX 4.x filesystem.
  • The Reiser filesystem (version 3.5.X, X > 11).
  • Sun Solaris on Intel platforms uses a sub-partitioning scheme on PC hard disks similar to the BSD disklabels.
  • Silicon Graphics journaled filesystem for Linux.
