Didn't work either. So I did a dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1k count=1 which got me a useable partition table. Lucky to have several exactly similar drives. (And of course, demonstrating the usual mode-of-work: first ask questions on mailinglist, before an answer arrives, try out something else which will maybe solve the problem thus making the answer obsolete (Well, maybe not, maybe somebody else will have a similar problem some time in the future) ;))) The only question that bugs me now: Is this SEAGATE-SX118273LC-6367 just a model-specific string or a drive-specific one? Do I now have two drives with some same ID? Is there any way to find out such Drive-IDs?
