Cloning Partition Maps with sfdisk Revision as of Thursday, 28 May 2026 at 13:06 UTC

This is so elegant, it makes me want to hug a penguin.

sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk /dev/hdb

This will clone the partition map from /dev/hda to /dev/hdb. I usually use fdisk (or parted) to clear all partitions first.
