[mythtv-users] Need help - partitioning foobar

[Diego Rodriguez Gonzalez]

Don't run gparted, don't create or format a new partition on the disk, 
or you'll lose all your data.

I'd try gpart (not gparted). Check out your package manager, or 
http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/.

Don't know if it will recognize JFS partitions or just show them as 
unknown type. It was a long time ago since I had to use it.

Run it like: gpart /dev/sdb, and paste the output.

We can try to rebuild the partition table manually with fdisk. If we 
success, all your data will be there.
