Is it possible to use "dd" if I have to disks with the same size but
different models like this:
Yes, it is. As long as the disks are the same size, the rest is just
details.
Dear Paul, just a last short question: suppose I have a hard disk A
with Linux and I want to clon this disk (A) to a new hard disk B; is
it possible to boot into single user from A and then execute "dd if=A
of=B" ??
Or do I have to get another machine with a hard disk C with Linux and
from here execute "dd if=A of=B" ???
How about booting from a live CD, and then issuing the dd command
(after making sure that neither disk is mounted).
Finally: booting from a live CD and executing "dd if=A of=B"...is there
any risk of lost of data or damage of the source hard disk (A) using the
"dd" command ??? Because it's the firt time I need to clon an entire
disk of a data base server with very critical data...I'm scared :(
Thanks again,
alejandro.-
