This problem has happened in just about every Puppy tested today.
I was called by a friend who has made a mistake. She, in looking over GPARTED has inadvertently deleted and formatted an EXT4 partion from her hard-drive. (She actually thought she was working on an adecent partition on a 3 partition HDD.
I was asked to take a look at the Puppy desktop. GParted is suppose to have a recovery feature that is present in its screen's menu, Device>AttemptDataRescue, but, someone, somewhere has deprecated (or broken) GParted!
Questions
- Has this already been addressed?
- Could this be fixed in the future?
- Do you have any recommendation for partiton recovery in Puppy Linux should this happen to anyone else?
