How do I recover from a KDE Partition Manager crash?

Mon Apr 23, 2018 12:14 pm
Hi,
I was using KDE partition manager to resize a partition. It was working fine for about three hours and showed 4 hours to go when I went to bed last night .... I got to the computer this morning and it had locked-up and was not responsive so I had to reboot. Now the disk shows the following:

The /dev/sdd4 was being merged with the unallocated partition of 68.36GiB. Originally the smaller partition was at the beginning of the disk, and the larger one was immediately after that, so the data had to be moved to the beginning of the disk ...
I'm not sure where I can find anything in any logs, I've tried to find something.

It was ext4 - is it possible to be recovered?
thank you

I ran TestDisk and this is what it said:

TestDisk 7.0, Data Recovery Utility, April 2015
Christophe GRENIER <grenier@cgsecurity.org>
http://www.cgsecurity.org

Disk /dev/sdd - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 243201 255 63

The harddisk (2000 GB / 1863 GiB) seems too small! (< 4000 GB / 3726 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...

The following partitions can't be recovered:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
Linux 125389 123 47 358632 134 30 3747049472 [Data]

> HPFS - NTFS 243200 254 63 486401 253 62 3907024002


I'm surprised that ext4 can be trashed, and the utilities for moving the data can be "broken" that easily - so I'm hoping that someone may be able to help here please!
