Missing partition table ..but how frequently is ?

Hello Everybody.

I'm a newbie ,and I have a question for you .

I lost the partion table of 1 of my disks (based on IBM LUN) ,fortunately I recovered this (with fdisk and your support) BUT my questions is "how can it happen"

Because I scare that the next time I'll not be so lucky

Thank you

Hi,

I can't speak in general but the last few times I saw pt losses it was due to somebody installing an additional esx host without detaching the storage. This can easily trash your pt.

If it ever happens to you again- don't do anything to the disk and call support. They are able to recover very easily.

Just my two cents,
