12:31:41 PM<br>Subject: [nflug] quick partition table mirroring<br><br>
I'm not sure the subject of this message accurately describes what I'm <br>looking but it's kind of close.<br><br>I have a Linux server with mirrored drives and one of the drives died. <br>I've replaced the dead drive with an identical disk and want to recreate <br>the partition layout and rebuild the mirrors, simple tasks. Because the <br>disks are identical I'd rather not have to manually create all the <br>partitions, I want to suck that info from disk1 and apply it to disk2.<br><br>On Solaris I'd use prtvtoc from grab the disks partitions and fmthard to <br>apply it to the new drive but haven't been able to locate equivalents on <br> Linux yet. Is anyone aware of how this can be done on Linux?<br><br>-- <br>Darin Perusich<br>Unix Systems Administrator<br>Cognigen Corporation<br>395 Youngs Rd.<br>Williamsville, NY 14221<br>Phone: 716-633-3463<br>Email: <a ymailto="mailto:darinper@cognigencorp.com"
