Dear List,

I have problem with setting label-id of dos partition table
The problem occurs when i use sfdisk:
1. I "save" the partition table with sfdisk -d /dev/sda > saved.table (saved
file has label-id of partition table)
2. then i restore this via sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
BUT
label-id of dos partition table can be changed in this operation e.g.:
when i run command such:
sfdisk -d /dev/sda > saved.table
sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda
sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda
sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda

each time when i restore partition table label-id of dos type partition
table is changed!

For me it is essential that label-id is set exactly as previous because
after that i restore windows operationg system on this partitions and
windows take care about label-id of boot disk partition table

Currently i use fdisk (expert option i) for setting label-id of partition,
but why it is not possible thru sfdisk?
Version? I'm not able to reproduce this problem (v2.28.2 as well as
upstream tree with incoming v2.30).

As you see sfdisk creates different label-id than it has in file
