I did a cat /proc/partitions & I can see that I have SDA & SDB. When I do dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb I get opening '/dev/sda' : Permission Denied. Any idea what is causing that problem? Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks, Rich

Hi, When I try that command, I am getting an error. It says: open logfile /var/log/partclone.log error I am using: partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda -o /dev/sdc. I cannot open the log file either. Any ideas? I have source as SDA & destination as SDC (secondary master). ________________________________________ From: Steven Shiau [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 2:07 AM To: Richard Klein Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Clonezilla-live] Using DD in Shell of Clonezilla? partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda1 -o /dev/sdb1 is only for partition to partition. For disk to disk, you can: partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda -o /dev/sdb Steven.
