Ok, what I need to do on an Alpha to `dd' one disk to another?
(yes they are identical drives)
# dd if=/dev/rda0c of=/dev/rda2c
dd: /dev/rda2c: Read-only file system
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.005558 secs (0 bytes/sec)
Fine, maybe I just need to find the device name it likes...
# dd if=/dev/rda0 of=/dev/rda2
dd: /dev/rda2c: Read-only file system
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.007808 secs (0 bytes/sec)
Lets read disklabel(8). Hum.. -W, lets try that and then `dd'. Nope
brain-damage still exists.
This kind of crap does *not* happen on a Sun. Uggg... And I'd really
rather not have to open the box up to get da0 out to do this under
Solaris.
