dd command can also be used for clonning
Hello All,
I tried dd command. It can also be used for cloning the hard drive.

It is taking too much time, i also tried the bs switch with it, but no great success. Any idea on how to minimize the time or speed of making clone.
Regards,

on an 866mhz pentium iii, i was able to dd 80gb of one pata drive onto another in 40 minutes. is that faster or slower than your experience? the drives were on separate ide controllers.

Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?

regarding hard drive clonning
Hi,
I think your bs value made some differnece. Any way, my hard disk size is 150Gb, i have also come to know that dd clones the data bit by bit. i mean it reads the each sector, this is the reason it takes long time.
i could complete it within 1 hour and 20 minutes

it doesn't read sector-by-sector. bs is block size -- 16mbyte/block.
