You can't uses sfdisk with gpt disks.

List, good evening,
We have a RAID1 server running Lenny, one of whose two 2TB discs
comprising the RAID arrays has failed. The discs were partitioned
into 8 partitions during the Debian Lenny installation, and separate
RAID1 arrays were built on 7 of those partitions, again during Debian

Use dd, it'll take a looong time but you'll have a bit copy.

Yup.
Just to be clear, you're trying to copy the entire disk with all
its partitions, right?

Which RAID doesn't care, eg:
dsk0 partition = 100 (sectors, GB, whatever)
dsk1 = 101 or 4242.42
RAID will only pick 100 on dsk1 partition to achieve
its work.

I mentioned Lenny, because it matters. I'd found that page before

Other than not being fully automated, what would be wrong with:
- use dd to copy the first 10MiB of the old drive to the new,
- use dd to skip all but the last 10MiB of the old drive and seek to the
same spot on the new drive
- use dd if=/dev/zero to zero the first MiB of each partition.
