mai copii, de ce nu vreti voi sa cititi documentatia?
cu riscul de a ma repeta, va retrimit la pagina de manual a lui sfdisk:

-d     Dump  the  partitions of a device in a format useful as input to
        sfdisk. For example,
                   % sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda.out
                   % sfdisk /dev/hda < hda.out

-x or --show-extended
        Also  list non-primary extended partitions on output, and expect
       descriptors for them on input.
 

    Create partitions
The fourth type of invocation: sfdisk device will cause sfdisk to  read
the specification for the desired partitioning of device from its stan-
dard input, and then to change the partition tables on that disk. Thus,
it  is  possible  to use sfdisk from a shell script. When sfdisk deter-
mines that its standard input is a terminal, it will be conversational;
otherwise it will abort on any error.
 


iar ceva mai jos:

INPUT FORMAT
        sfdisk reads lines of the form
               <start> <size> <id> <bootable> <c,h,s> <c,h,s>
        where each line fills one partition descriptor.
 


sau pe scurt:
- sfdisk -d -> pt a crea un dump al tabelei de partitii (inclusiv 
partitiile logice)
- sfdisk <device> < fisierul_de_la-d  ->pt a recrea

fara dd, fara a va preocupa cit e de mare tabela, etcetc.



un exemplu de la mine:
root# sfdisk -d /dev/hde
# partition table of /dev/hde
unit: sectors
 

/dev/hde1 : start=       63, size=    64197, Id=83, bootable
/dev/hde2 : start=    64260, size= 30716280, Id=83
/dev/hde3 : start= 30780540, size=  1044225, Id=82
/dev/hde4 : start= 31824765, size= 85401540, Id= 5

/dev/hde7 : start= 63183708, size= 30732282, Id=83
/dev/hde8 : start= 93916053, size= 23310252, Id=83
