So this means, I'll have to copy tmppart to the other server, before running the sfdisk on secondary server? This is what I get from sfdisk: [root at acbl1 root]# more tmppart Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 35419 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 0+ 12 13- 104391 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 13 2562 2550 20482875 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 2563 5112 2550 20482875 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p4 5113 35418 30306 243432945 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 5113+ 6387 1275- 10241406 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 6388+ 7534 1147- 9213246 82 Linux swap /dev/cciss/c0d0p7 7535+ 7789 255- 2048256 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p8 7790+ 35418 27629- 221929911 83 Linux Should I go ahead and do this on secondary server.
