If you remove the cunt argument as already mentioned, this will copy the

If I do:

Won't it destroy data on /dev/sda?
No.
Although mdadm will. A simple solution is to create the array with only
the second disk as the initial member and designate the other device as
literally missing. The

I have two identical HD in a box and want to duplicate sda to sdb
I want sdb to be bootable just in case something happens to sda so I can swap
the drives and boot.
Do I boot from USB and run:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 596.2 GiB, 640135028736
You are only cloning the first 512 bytes , remove the count parameter . It
is usefull if you need to copy/restore the mbr .

OK, do you want to copy just the boot sector or clone the whole disk with all
data on it?
