Hello SuSE people,
I know that you can do a dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb which actually clones an entire drive, partitions, links, etc.
Question is can I dd single partitions like dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 and still have the same result ? Partition by partition?
certainly
What I'm trying to do is split an OS off a large drive to a smaller one to gain the partitions back on the larger drive
use of dd gives partitions of the same size on if and of sides. receive pazrtition needs to be at least as big as the source one and the rest is unusable (AFAIK)
.Will I need to paartition the wiped drive first?
certainly or will dd do that for me. no dd only copy (sector by sector in this situation)
devs to use libata with it's 16 partition limitation
I have read than a boot option allows use of the old library, but don't have the problem, so don't know exactly jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
