This looks useful
make a diskcopy!!!!
the dmg format is really useful
from the hdiutil man page
Image from folder:
$ du -s myFolder # du(1) seems to find resource forks, even
on HFS+
1234
$ hdiutil create -sectors 1334 folderImage # add 100
sectors
$ hdid -nomount folderImage.dmg
/dev/disk1s2
$ newfs_hfs -v myFolderImage /dev/rdisk1s2
$ hdiutil eject disk1
$ hdid folderImage.dmg
/dev/disk1s2 Apple_HFS
/Volumes/myFolderImage
$ ditto -rsrcFork myFolder /Volumes/myFolderImage
there is a bunch more you can even control the segment size.
assuming your firewire drive is big, make a bunch of CD-ROM size
segments and burn them
you can even burn from this cl tool.
also good for converting dmg file like devtools to toast burnable image.
works on folders with companion program hdid as above or will copy an
entire device (/dev/whatever)
see the manpages this is a utility been hiding in OSX by apple.
