 If you remove the cunt argument as already mentioned, this will copy the
 whole drive, but it will be incredibly slow unless you add bs=4k. It
 also only copies it once, as soon as you start using sda, sdb will be
 out of date. Set up a RAID-1 array with the two drives, then install
 GRUB to the boot sector of each drive, using grub2-install and you will
 always be able to boot in the event of a failure of either drive.

 Always proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
 
 Thank you everybody for not
highlighting the irony of that tagline...
 
 


I saw your typo, I missed the tagline :-)

It's *freaky* how your fortunes so often match the post :-)
How the blazes do you do that?




USE=magic emerge signify
