hello

I need to rsync of disk-images in a computer-lab.

Now I make this:
the client make  
        rsync server::images/$IP.imag /image/image.imag
        cat < /image/image.imag > /dev/hda1
(btw. this client is on /dev/hda2 or in a ram-disk). This work nice
and the rsync is fast too. But the 'copy' of the image to the right
place, need time.

A fast solution is this:
        rsync server::images/$IP.imag /dev/hda1
but this don't work, or did it?

Is there a principle reason, that this don't work? Would a patch for
this disk-image-rsync be large or very complex?

Gruss
Grisu
