<br>
I have a Linux server with mirrored drives and one of the drives died. I've replaced the dead drive with an identical disk and want to recreate the partition layout and rebuild the mirrors, simple tasks. Because the disks are identical I'd rather not have to manually create all the 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 apply it to the new drive but haven't been able to locate equivalents on Linux yet. Is anyone aware of how this can be done on Linux?<br>
