Hi all, Here is a simple (I think!) question for the I/O savy among you: If I had two identical disks, say, 73 GB Seagate 10K SCSIs, one completely operational fully setup FreeBSD with all the trimmings, and the other blank, or perhaps loaded but no longer usable, is 'dd' and appropriate tool to completely clone the Good disk to the not so good disk....therefor making the second disk identical to the first? Bootable and all? -Grant
