Now, having tried that and verified that both the source and the new target partiotion have EXACTLY the same size there has occured this:
xxx records in xxx records out
but! the "in" amount of blocks is ONE higher that the written!
You've mounted the new partition you created and verified that it's exactly the same as the original?
I wrote _just_that_ 10 lines above :-)
I'm not completely sure. dd should write out everything it receives as input. Perhaps the target partition was one block smaller than the original?! Have you checked the sizes of the partitions with the size values in bytes? Have you fscked the new partition to make sure there aren't any errors?
All done. Fdisk says precisely that the number of cyls is the same. the block sizes are the same. the one and only difference is that source is EIDE and target is on SCSI But how come the gzipped backup is one block larger than the original data!!?!?!?? what does gzip add there? -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I I http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal I
