Installation and Partitioning of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server












0














Yesterday I accidentally erased the SSD (256 GB) Ubuntu was installed on.....



What do I have to do to get the original partitions back?
I mean can I use during the installation process the option "Guided - use entire disk" and the /boot/efi and swap partition are created automatically or do I have to choose "Manual" and define the three partitions manually?



On the one hand I suppose "manual" because I don't believe that Ubuntu would create a swap partition itself. On the other side I can not imagine that I created nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi manually last time, knowing nearly nothing about it...



former partitions:



/dev/nvme0n1p2             227G  110G  106G  51% /
/dev/nvme0n1p1 512M 3.4M 509M 1% /boot/efi
/dev/nvme0n1p3 ca. 8 GB (used as swap partition)


former fstab:



# <file system>                            <mount point> <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

UUID=b3180ade-90e1-47ad-92d4-01973cab36fd / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

UUID=C7E0-530A /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1

UUID=aedfb0c6-09cf-4573-9e22-6f0630e7d3c5 none swap sw 0 0


Devices during installations



# /           was on /dev/nvme0n1p2 during installation
# /boot/efi was on /dev/nvme0n1p1 during installation
# swap was on /dev/nvme0n1p3 during installation
