    Hi Thomas,

    Before this the layout was

    1MB Newworld boot partition
    512MB HFS partition for boot.img
    2GB SFS partition for System:
    40GB PFS3 partition for Work:
    15GB EXT4 partition for /
    1.5GB Linux swap partition

    I ran the Ubuntu installer from the live cd and told it to format the existing ext4 partition. The installer segfaulted so I ran it again and chose the option to reinstall over existing installation, but it didn't do what I assumed it would do and instead it wiped the entire partition map and created:

    1MB Newworld boot partition
    57MB EXT4 /
    2.5GB Swap partition

    The new ext4 partition has 3.16GB of data installed to it so I guess it has overwritten the PFS metadata at the beginning of the old partition. :(

    I'm open to all suggestions that might help me recover my sourcecode though.
