Dear Hans, just remembered your posting. Maybe you're still interested in.

...

With the command parted - m /dev/sda > file.txt I get machinereadeble partition info. How can I use this info to recreate the partiontable. I want exact the same partitions on a new disk. In the man page I can't find how to use this machine readable output.

Thanks, Hans correction: The command is parted -l -m /dev/sda > file.txt

No guarantee (please take backups before) but this worked for me: # sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb So transfered to your question: 1.# sfdisk -d /dev/sda > diskpart.txt 2.# less diskpart.txt | sfdisk /dev/sdb Maybe it helped, Johannes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
