Hi Karel,
Yes, I did not change anything else than editing the identifier as shown
in the report.
Thanks for confirming the bug.
Meanwhile, I will avoid duplicating disks with dd and rather make
partitions manually with fdisk
and then copy directories.
Bernard.

Hi,
After cloning a disk with dd, both are identical, particularly the disk
identifiers.
I suspected this could create some problems.
Thus I moved the disk to another system without mounting it.
I used additional fdisk option -i to change disk identifier.
However, the following dump shows that fdisk did not actually modify
disk identifier.
You didn't update any partition, but the identifier only. Right?
What did I make wrong ?
This is fdisk bug. It cares about modified partitions only. The
changed identifier is invisible for the 'w' command.
(The another bug is that it calls BLRRPART ioctl in situation when
on disk MBR has not been altered.)
I'll fix it ASAP. Thanks for your bug report.
Karel
