Hi everyone,
I set aside an alternate partition of exactly the same size on
one of my non-boot disks with the intention of using it as a mirror of my
root partition. I now have the space, but when I try using dd to copy
either the sd0a or the rsda0 devices to the mirror partition, I get
warnings about wither the first being "in use" or the second being a
read-only file system. What I am I missing? For now I am using tar, but
I'd prefer to use dd to get a more exact and quicker copy made.
thanks,
Adrian
