I waited some days, but nobody wrote something about dd and raw devices... I read the dd man pages on two Linux Systems - and the newest one from the fileutils Version 4.1: http://www.gnu.org/directory/All_GNU_Packages/fileutils.html But I couldn't find any note about (problems with) raw devices. Grey, would you give me a hint? Anybody else? I'm asking here because I used dd to find out more about my problems with lvm and raw devices (for Oracle RAC): http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2002-June/011737.html Thanks in advance, Eike _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
