I am running testdisk to try and restore the 2 partitions accidently removed by parted (parted -s /dev/sdc mklabel msdos). The device /dev/sdc is 2TB in size, and at 86% complete on the analyze, I am seeing the following:
Disk /dev/sdc - 2147 GB / 2000 GiB - CHS 261083 255 63

The device belongs to a volume group with several other devices.

└─vgETL-infl 252:5 0 1010G 0 lvm /incoming_files
Am I understanding this correctly that sdc consists of 6 * 2TB partitions? and all of these should be restored upon completion of the analyze?
