Hi All,
I have a flash drive with about four partitions on is.
Lets call it /dev/sdc.
Can I tar sdc or am I stuck with tarring the partitions?
Any drawback to this?
If you were to `tar` it, you'd be making an archive with a single file named
'sdc'. I suggest you do this:
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/path/to/file
gzip /path/to/file
(Feel free to use some other software for compression)
This looks like what I want. Thank you!
Is there a way to pipe the dd into the gzip file?
