Right. In case the recovery code is finicky about its partition size
and location you may want to record the drive's partition table to aid
re-creating it. On the basis of not knowing what'll be needed then I
normally save the commands and output of
sudo parted /dev/sda unit B print
sudo sfdisk -l -uS /dev/sda
The sfdisk is only really used for the partitions' IDs; parted doesn't
give them. I get parted to work in bytes out of habit; IIRC some other
commands work in bigger blocks and discard fractions!
Cheers, Ralph.
