partition-table

What will happen if i try to restore the partition table of a larger hard disk to smaller hard disk, for example: partition table of 250GB hard disk to a 80GB hard disk using sfdisk like this.

sfdisk /dev/sda < PartitionTable250.txt

Will sfdisk detect it?

I think there will be no problem if the partition table of a smaller hard disk is going to be restored on a larger hard disk?
