Problem, I have a xfs 1TB hard drive with badblocks (/dev/sda1) and would like to clone it to another 1TB drive (/dev/sdc1), /dev/sdc is already partitioned and mkfs.xfs run.
With xfs you could use xfsdump and xfsrestore.
I've tried rsync, that didn't do it properly.
Why not?
Next I copied all the data across, but it gets confused on boot with the different namings in /dev/disk/by-id/ and what was copied across in /etc/fstab and the stuff in /etc/grub/.
Well, those you will have to adjust manually, there is no way around it that I know of.
YaST in 11.2 Alpha0 doesn't now have an entry for cloning a system that I can identify. What's recommended?
rsync.

I have a suspicion that the badblocks on the source drive is causing a problem. When I used dd, I perhaps should have used the "noerror" option then do xfs_repair. Thanks, guys, I shall have another look. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
