Okay, In taking the advice of an earlier poster in suggesting that the instructions located here: http://www.unixcities.com/howto/ Are rather old, allow me to make my question a little broader in scope: What is the best way to clone a disk in FreeBSD? Do you have any step- by-step instructions? The instructions I used above (even replacing the restore -r flag with a -x) produced a core dump. Can I use DD on two disks of different size? Do you recommend Ghost for Unix? Any other suggestions or recommendations should the dump command just not work for me? Thanks in advance! ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org
