Well, when using dd, be careful: some drives (IDE) won't allow you go without a trouble if you dd if=/dev/wd0 of=/dev/wd1, since this will overwrite some essential data disk uses for operation (this is known to be true for Seagate Medalist series). Instead, you should dd each slice independently, not the entire device. ./danfe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
