Went back about two years in the MARC archives with the terms 'copy drive' (oddly enough, 'dd' itself wouldn't work), and got plenty of linux examples on Google (that pretty much say what I propose anyway) but no luck... I'm hoping to find a faster way to create an image of one drive (a Samsung MP0402H, 40G notebook, to be specific) onto an identical drive than using:
# dd if=/dev/rwd0c of=/dev/rwd1c bs=1m Hardware to be used in the copy is an i586/166, Intel 430VX chipset. I vaguely recall hearing that placing the drives on separate IDE channels would help, but any and all other pointers, cluesticks, and proddings are welcome.
