 |
|
Hello all,
Is there a partition table backup tool for ppc linux. I ask only as there is a tool called sfdisk which can do this, however, it is not in portage (even though some posts in other forums refer to it) and was wondering if there was an equivalent tool in portage for ppc??
cheers,
Gino |

| Code: | [scourge]~ # which sfdisk
/sbin/sfdisk
[scourge]~ # etcat -b /sbin/sfdisk
Searching for /sbin/sfdisk in * ...
sys-apps/util-linux-2.12q

so it _is_ in portage.
You can use it to backup the partition table like so:
sfdisk -d /dev/foo > dev_foo.table
and restore it with
sfdisk /dev/foo < dev_foo.table
