well last week I adjusted (resized) partitions of my external harddisk by gparted. during the processing, the damn gnome3 crashed. I cannot see the partition any more.

I have still one windows machine(winxp), and tried finalData2.0. after about 30 hours scan/recovering, my 120G data in that partition were back. only 2-3 files lost.
hope this experience is useful 4 u. btw, I didn't write any data to that disk after the problem happened.

kpartx

KPARTX(8)						   Linux Administrator's Manual 						 KPARTX(8)

NAME

       kpartx - Create device maps from partition tables

SYNOPSIS

       kpartx [-a | -d | -l] [-v] wholedisk

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool,  derived  from  util-linux'	partx,	reads partition tables on specified device and create device maps over partitions segments
       detected. It is called from hotplug upon device maps creation and deletion.

OPTIONS

       -a     Add partition mappings

       -r     Read-only partition mappings

       -d     Delete partition mappings

       -u     Update partition mappings

       -l     List partition mappings that would be added -a

       -p     set device name-partition number delimiter

       -f     force creation of mappings; overrides 'no_partitions' feature

       -g     force GUID partition table (GPT)

       -v     Operate verbosely

       -s     Sync mode. Don't return until the partitions are created

EXAMPLE

       To mount all the partitions in a raw disk image:

	      kpartx -av disk.img

       This will output lines such as:

	      loop3p1 : 0 20964762 /dev/loop3 63

       The loop3p1 is the name of a device file under /dev/mapper which you can use to access the partition, for example to fsck it:

	      fsck /dev/mapper/loop3p1

       When you're done, you need to remove the devices:

	      kpartx -d disk.img
