Re: [zfs-discuss] Re: [osol-discuss] Cloning a disk w/ ZFS in it
yeah disks need to be identical but why do you need to do prtvtoc and fmthard to duplicate the disk label (before the dd), I thought that dd would take care of all of that... whenever I used dd I used it on slice 2 and I never had to do prtvtoc and fmthard... Juts make sure disks are identical and that is the key. Regards, Chris On Fri, 20 Oct 2006, Richard Elling - PAE wrote: minor adjustments below...

Re: [zfs-discuss] Re: [osol-discuss] Cloning a disk w/ ZFS in it
you don't really need to do the prtvtoc and fmthard with the old Sun labels if you start at cylinder 0 since you're doing a bit - bit copy with dd .. but, keep in mind: - The Sun VTOC is the first 512B and s2 *typically* should start at cylinder 0 (unless it's been redefined .. check!) - The EFI label though, reserves the first 17KB (34 blocks) and for a dd to work, you need to either: 1) dd without the slice (eg: dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 of=/dev/rdsk/ c1t0d0 bs=128K) or 2) prtvtoc / fmthard (eg: prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 /tmp/ vtoc.out ; fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc.out /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0) .je On Oct 22, 2006, at 12:45, Krzys wrote: yeah disks need to be identical but why do you need to do prtvtoc and fmthard to duplicate the disk label (before the dd), I thought that dd would take care of all of that... whenever I used dd I used it on slice 2 and I never had to do prtvtoc and fmthard...
