Hi,
This was from a private email between Joe and myself -
but as he says,
there's plenty of disk / Unix experts on the list that might be able to
answer this one!
We were talking about the possibility of doing a raw
backup of the failing
disk in my Tek system and restoring it onto another disk to get it to
work...
If you don't trust a raw copy, why not just throw in your other (newer) disk
on the SCSI bus, disklabel it, format it, partition it, and do a "copy -R" of
the entire filesystem?
Besides, it's not as though you'd actually destroy your old disk if you made a
copy. Just try the dd route, and if it doesn't work, truy something else. You
really haven't got anything to lose.
