I need to clone a disk. The source is a 3ware hardware RAID 1 array. >From Linux it looks like /dev/sda
$ mount /dev/sda2 on / type xfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda5 on /tmp type xfs (rw) /dev/sda6 on /usr type xfs (rw) /dev/sda7 on /var type xfs (rw) /dev/sda8 on /usr/local type xfs (rw) /dev/sda9 on /home type xfs (rw) The destination is /dev/hda Can I build a new bare metal drive on /dev/hda using dd dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/hda Will that work with the hardware RAID array? If so will it also copy the MBR? The destination drive will NOT be used in a RAID array. Also, the drives in the RAID array cannot be used outside of the array due to the meta data written by 3ware card. Is there a better way to clone the data on my RAID array for use in a stand-alone (non-raid) machine?
