Hi,
I am interested, whether there more speedier methods of copying
/dev/sda to /dev/sdb (both are identical hds -- only the serial #
differs :) as the good old
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=<cache size of one hd>
???
Any neat trick to make a rocket from a bicycle ? :) ;)
Keep hacking!

dd is about as fast as it gets - reads a bunch of raw sectors, write
them somewhere else.
