Hi, Marcel and All. I'm thinking about such feature like ability to dump partition table into file from which it can be recovered in the future. Also it can be used to copy partition table to another device.
At the moment i think that just print out a list of commands that
should be done to create the same table it is the easiest way.
For example:
> gpart show ada1
=> 34 320172989 ada1 GPT (153G)
34 512 1 freebsd-boot (256K)
546 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G)
8389154 311783869 3 freebsd-zfs (149G)
> gpart dump -f x ada1
geom part create -s gpt -f x ada1
geom part add -b 34 -s 512 -i 1 -t freebsd-boot -f x ada1
geom part add -b 546 -s 8388608 -i 2 -t freebsd-swap -f x ada1
geom part add -b 8389154 -s 311783869 -i 3 -t freebsd-zfs -f x ada1
Any comments and ideas are welcome.
