B balanga Apr 8, 2017 #1 If I have an mbr partition I can use dd to copy a file to a partition. If it is a gpt partition I can't. Is it just me or is this a known restriction, and is there any way around this?

fscorrea Apr 8, 2017 #2 It is a known restriction. "Raw copying" (as with # dd) could mess with GPT-related metadata such as GUIDs. AFAIK you need to set the partition first using a proper tool, then copy using e.g. net/rsync.
