Somehow during all this "crisis" (which has nothing to do with the kernel,
BTW) nobody mentioned that on
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ there is a credible
utility for an automatic guessing of lost partition tables. It is
called gpart<something-or-another>.

I think also that Gordon Chaffee had also another one on his web page
(http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/, I believe).
