This partition is about 5~6G, if I recall correctly. Which number
shall I use to test.
Besides do I need to backup this partition before test? Partition
/dev/hda7 has about 5.6G space available.
# mount /mnt/hda7
# df -hT /mnt/hda7
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/UNIONFS/dev/hda7
ext3 5.6G 33M 5.3G 1% /mnt/hda7
Would running
# dd if=/dev/hda8 of=/dev/hda7
backup its content to /dev/hda7. Please advise. TIA
Remark: there are several non-important working files on /dev/hda7. To
overwrite them has no problem. The data on /dev/hda8 is about 900MB
B.R.
