Quoting Tim Winter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Scott,

Are you sure your dd syntax is correct?  It looks like what you are doing
is creating a very large image file in the mount_point folder, not copying
the image from one drive to another.  If you are just trying to clone a
drive, you probably want to do this:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

-Tim


I want to produce an image of the installed system for cloning, thus my syntax,
from a basic level, is correct.    The source is /dev/sda and has a couple
partitions.   The destination is a remote Windows share.

I have ample storage space on the remote share for the image to be created.

Thanks for any further insights/help.

Scott
