That will not work. Parted replaces the PMBR in such a case. So does gdisk. wipefs -a after parted or gdisk will cause both PMBR and GPT primary and backup headers to be invalidated. So to wipe or invalidate the PMBR has to be done with dd. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
