Im copying 40g drive onto a 120g drive. I am using a CD live type linux distro.
Which is SystemRescueCd
I have a little theory that running top may freeze the process, because since running top once, the dd or cat process cpu time has not changed.
I think my theory pulled through. I ran dd and didnt touch it and the job was done in 45mins. I then ran qtparted (run_qtparted on the CD) to resize it GUI magically.
I didnt use cpio because it was NTFS. What took me 4 days initially will take me an hour now.
PS i just moved here from the digest, could like the list have 'reply to list' switched on?!
