Caporegime
Hello chaps and chappettes.. I wish to clone the currently operational disk. I've used dd many times before, and am confident with it, but this disk is utterly important, so I wanted to check that using dd on it, in the form of:
is not going to cause me any problems. /dev/hda is the disk that my gentoo install is running from. I.e. it has the /boot partition with the currently active kernel, and the swap partition that is currently in use.
Should I be wary?
Code:
# dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
Should I be wary?
