Super User Asked by juwi on November 3, 2021
I accidentally ran sgdisk -o /dev/sda
instead of sgdisk -O /dev/sda
and deleted all partition data.
My computer is still running and I have the output of fdisk
and lsblk
.
How can I use this information to restore the previous state as close as possible?

As the sgdisk manual does not state anything about possible deletion of the backup GPT in the documentation of the "-o" parameter you could use a hex editor to search for the backup table using "EFI PART". When you find it duplicate it to a postion starting with the 2nd sector on your disc. When your hex editor starts with sector 0, it is the sector labeled 1.
