Hope it's ok to continue this thread, but can you explain in more
detail how to use dd to copy a HD. I read "man dd" and was
unable to
figure out how this is done.
Thanks,
Craig

This is what I have done in the past.
dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da1 bs=8192b
where da0 is the disk you want to copy and da1 is the new,
blank disk.
I should also mention that it is wise to do this in single
user mode. I actually have read this somewhere and
understand the point of it, but I must also say that I have
done it both ways and they have both worked.
YMMV I would have to say it is all dependant and what you
have running.
I have done this too many times to count and it is very easy.
peace,
Bob

I tried this and got the following error:
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=40<UNCORRECTABLE>
LBA=8387712
Any ideas what the problem might be? Do the hard drives have to be
identical? One is a 30Gb and the other is a 60GB.
Thanks,
Craig

I would think that you can dd from a small drive to a large drive, but
if the is possible _definitely_ not the other way around. Which size
are source and dest. drive?
