I wonder if someone has written a simple filesystem driver which mounts the raw data of a device as though it were a single, big file? Such a solution would allow the use of any normal filesystem tool (including rsync) on block-device data. > # rsync /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 Using rsync to update the data for two local block devices wouldn't be very useful because the incremental-update algorithm would tend to slow down the transfer instead of speed it up (the only exception for a local transfer is when the write speed for a device is much slower than the read speed, and enough of the data matches that the saved write time more than makes up for the extra read time). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
