I'm not sure, I haven't tried it, but if you revert to DOS-compatible mode with command 'c', I think you might get to allocate partitions any which way you want. I'm sure I have seen a reference to that feature somewhere.
Maybe I did not try that.
sfdisk did the job, but I had to force it. Being an old and obsolete tool, I want to know what current tool will clone an entire partition table without questions.
sfdisk isn't old nor obsolete, it's very useful.
It wants to align on tracks, complains bitterly if you don't, and does not support GPT. You can see what happened here: <https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/482350-i-want-clone-disk.html#post2518815> At some point it erased the entire partition table of the sytem while it was runnning... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
