Is it possible to specify the sizes of the partions, and their ranges too, based on sectors. I have an image of a an entire disk, made by CloneZilla. Apparently CloneZilla, in this case, is not able to restore the partitios, so I have to do that manually (see this post).
In the image, which is just a folder, there are a few files in a human readable format, describing the partitioning of the disk. The most detailed file is sda-gpt.sgdisk, and is shown below:
Disk /dev/sda: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiBLogical sector size: 512 bytesDisk identifier (GUID): B493156A-8540-46F9-A3EB-E08346125E6FPartition table holds up to 128 entriesFirst usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 976773134Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundariesTotal free space is 2029 sectors (1014.5 KiB)Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 616447 300.0 MiB EF00 EFI system partition 2 616448 2459647 900.0 MiB 2700 Basic data partition 3 2459648 2721791 128.0 MiB 0C01 Microsoft reserved part 4 2721792 393431039 186.3 GiB 0700 Basic data partition 5 393431040 934809599 258.1 GiB 0700 Basic data partition 6 934809600 976773119 20.0 GiB 2700 Basic data partitionI tried creating this partitioning with GParted, using the sizes, but I guess megabytes/mebibytes/gigabytes/gibibytes can be counted in different ways, and maybe I need more decimals than above. After several tries, I keep make one or more partitions just a tad too small, and CloneZilla fails because they are not big enough. I can't simply make them bigger, since then they won't fit on the disk.
But I guess, if I could specify the partitions using sectors (the numbers shown above) that should work. So how do I do that?
