This works fine.
Now, I noticed something.
On gkrellmn I observe, as the script runs, that the reads on the source disk (ssd, in this case) and the writes to the destination disk alternate, are not simultaneous. And it took 5 hours to image perhaps 300gigs; of course, the destination is on USB2, and the CPU is old, but that alternation doesn't help.
Could that be improved somehow?
