I heard its faster if you use two dd's; i.e:
# dd if=/dev/ad0 bs=64k | dd of=/dev/ad1 bs=64k
allowing read and write to proceed in parallel.
that's what ddd and 'team' are for.
I don't know if ddd is in the ports as it may clash inname with teh
debugger ddd
They internally fork and use several processes synchronised in some manner.
Isn't dump+restore and a couple of fdisk+bsdlabel trick to copy the
source partitioning a better choice to "clone" this HDD?
