Thanks, dd is a good suggestion for ISO data. But what I need
once again please do
man dd
dd reads sector by sector.
it won't work only for audio-sectors on CD , on DVD movies are stored
using normal 2K sectors
Agree
Agree that dd is good for simple CDs and DVDs but can't say that I know
it will behave on multi-session or multi-format discs.
the question was about DVD. dvd are not produced multisession or
multiformat.
and when copying multisession data DVD, it's much better to copy off all
files,

You'll need to dump/restore (not dd) from an old drive to a new one.

Hi!
My situation: I have a server with FBSD 7 installed with two 40 GB disks
in RAID 1 (gmirror) config.
Now I have noticed the lack of space on the drive so I am thinking to
change these disks for two 160 GB.
What is the best way to clone the main hard disk in raid 1 config? Is
gmirror remove
Stupid question: can't you use growfs on the existing gmirror (after
replace /dev/oneofdisk, resync, replace /dev/otherdisk, resync) ?
Is it mandatory to create a *new* gmirror ?
Thanks

I use a variation of this guide[1] when I'm setting up gmirror.
The last time I increased the size of the array, I removed one drive

There is no way to resize a gmirror provider without
hard disk in raid 1 config? Is
this possible or is it better to switch back from RAID 1 to single disk
system and then do cloning with dump/restore (or dd) and then make RAID
1 again?
