If you want a full disk image with its partition table I don't know if
you are aware that those tools can work with offsets, e.g.:
$ truncate -s 500M disk.img
$ echo -e 'label:gpt\n2048,,U' | sfdisk disk.img
$ mkfs.fat --offset 2048 disk.img
$ mcopy -i disk.img@@1M -s /path/to/files ::
where 2048 is the offset of the first partition (2048 sectors = 1MB)
Berto
it will be much more flexible this way :-)
I was having trouble with mkfs.fat which, according to my man page, is supposed to accept the --offset option, but refuses it on the pretext that it's unknown...
thank you.
