The pro or against are trivial. Another one, against: a redo of a partition table made some years ago was impossible because the current tool insisisted on aligning on megabytes instead of tracks (for the same model of disk), resulting on slightly smaller sizes, making the dd of the partitions impossible. :-) Again, trivial :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
