Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Cloning machines

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. -- Phil Driscoll
