Hi all, In my environment, we have large disks and for simplicity, use GPT on all our machines.
Occasionally a disk fails and we must replace it. Using cfdisk and MBR this would be a simple matter of doing a: sfdisk -d DISK1 | sfdisk DISK2 in order to copy the disk's partition table from one disk to the other, and then we can use the RAID tools to put the disk back in service. sfdisk doesn't know GPT, but luckily parted does. Unfortunately, this functionality of being able to copy the partition table from one device to the other appears missing, as does the workaround (as above) of being able to spit out and consume the same format of output in order to achieve the same result. Can someone please suggest either a way to accomplish the same result or add this to the list of enhancements to the next version? Thank you, - Serge _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
