All,
I have a customer who has a lot of time invested in configuring his
system and is ready to put it in to production. However, we are getting
some disk errors on occasion and it's tough to trust it for the long
haul. What is the hot ticket for putting the exact same thing on another
drive. It's easy to have another identical server sitting next to it at
the same time, or put an identical disk in the same system to copy stuff
over.
I am sure I could spend the time to do dd and fdisk, etc, but dumb it
down and speed it up for me. :o) Hmm... can I put a second disk in the
system and do a dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb and will that get the boot
sectors, etc ? Is it that simple ?
Thanks,
Mike
PS: The customer is aware that RAID was probably a good idea here, but
he chose not to get it for a variety of reasons and here we are. :o)
