Hello, is there a tool that can copy a partition table from one drive and adapt it for another drive? In an ideal world both source and destination drive share the same geometry. The partition table could easily be copied using sfdisk. But let's assume the geometry mismatches (RAID1 configuration using drives from different brands). The destination partitions have to be computed to match the source drive as close as possible. What's this all for you might ask? If one disc in a RAID1 array (without a preconfigured hot spare) fails, I want to plug in a replacement disc and the rest should be handled by some automatic system (partition the drive, hot-add it afterwards). So, is there a tool that can copy and adapt partition tables?
