Dear All
I have a working Solaris8 server that I want to make an image from its hard
drive suitable for my qemu-system-sparc on MS Windows . Because of lack of
sufficient free space, I tried to do it as the following :
#dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 bs=512 count=1572864 |gzip
-c>/tmp/solaris8.disk-pt1.gz
#dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 bs=512 count=1572864 skip=3145728|gzip
-c>/tmp/solaris8.disk-pt2.gz
And so on.
I continued this iteration up to twelve times and then the 'dd' wouldn't
work afterwards . So I decompressed all of them and concatenated to have a
big file . But my qemu cannot boot from it and it seems that the solaris
didn't give me raw access to the disk (as suspected) . To accomplish this,
can you please show me suitable raw disk access for cloning?
Thank you
