And I could not recreate the partitions with fdisk because the original disk had been made by HP with old alignment, and fdisk wanted to do it on megabytes, skipping part of the initial region... If I allowed that, the images would simply not fit.
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.
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. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
