Undid revision 1028894091 by 62.64.231.101 (talk) - That's not true - this commit was reverted very quickly as it was pushed without any prior review and currently FreeBSD sticks to the name 'Master Boot Record': https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=362488 |
then let's note the revert in the article instead of pretending this never happened, as it was reported on multiple websites and somebody might want to look it up |

Line 725:
Linux <code>sfdisk</code> (on a [[SystemRescueCD]]) is able to save a backup of the primary and extended partition table. It creates a file that can be read in a text editor, or this file can be used by sfdisk to restore the primary/extended partition table. An example command to back up the partition table is <code>sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda.out</code> and to restore is <code>sfdisk /dev/hda < hda.out</code>. It is possible to copy the partition table from one disk to another this way, useful for setting up mirroring, but sfdisk executes the command without prompting/warnings using <code>sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb</code>.<ref name="Linux_MAN_sfdisk"/>
