Hi Gandalf, I tried to dump journal partition scheme from the old SSD: sgdisk --backup=/tmp/journal_table /dev/sdg and then restore the journal partition scheme to the new SSD after it's replaced: sgdisk --restore-backup=/tmp/journal_table /dev/sdg and it doesn't work. :( parted -l doesn't show the correct partition table after restore, and mkjournal command failed. Is it because the new SSD is of different model and size? The old SSD is a Seagate 100GB and the new SSD is a Crucial 256GB. Looking forward to your reply, thank you. Cheers.
