The record

Purpose: partrevive scans disks for filesystem signatures to recover a lost or deleted partition table.
Read-only verification: Its verify command checks candidates using read-only loop devices and mounts, classifying filesystems with data as live and unmountable candidates as ghosts.
Recovery workflow: The CLI provides scan, verify, plan, rescue, restore, auto, undo, and image commands.
GUI: A Tkinter front end guides users through scanning and verification, building a plan, and restoring the table.
Disk imaging: The image command uses ddrescue in two passes with a mapfile, and the tool can recover against a disk image file.
Safety: Restore backs up the existing partition table, prompts before writing by default, refuses to act on a mounted target, and can be undone from the saved backup.
Dependencies: The single-file Python 3 program uses the standard library and requires root plus sgdisk, blkid, losetup, mount, partprobe, and blockdev on PATH.
Limitations: The design document says heavily fragmented or partially overwritten filesystems may mount but be incomplete, so recovered data should be checked.
Maturity: The README describes the project as early and reports testing recovery of a deleted GPT on a 240 GB SATA SSD.
License: The repository identifies the project as MIT licensed.
Verification: It creates read-only views of candidates and mount-tests them to distinguish live filesystems from stale ghosts.
Recovery steps: Its commands support scanning, verification, planning, rescuing files, restoring a table, undoing a saved table, and imaging a failing drive.
Partition formats: It restores GPT by default and can write an MBR table with --mbr, limited to four primary partitions.
Download and requirements: The project is a single Python 3 file using the standard library and requires root plus sgdisk, blkid, losetup, mount, partprobe, and blockdev on PATH.
