Both Gary and Mark have mentioned that the raw copy of a disk is best only
used when the disks have identical geometry. I don't know the first thing
about how the kernel drivers actually access the drives, but surely on a
modern machine it's no longer by cylinder head sector any more? Isn't LBA the
norm these days - and if that's the case, surely - for once :) - size
matters, and not geometry.
