Now the question: Can I "dd" the faulty 200 GB drive to the new 200 GB drive? And if, how? Does "dd if=/dev/hde1 of=/dev/hdf1" the job, or what have I to do?
Heinz told me:
"You need to dd starting from the first physical extent (use pvdata -PP on the old one and look for pe_on_disk.base) to the same offset on the new disk (skip and seek dd option) and you want dd to continue after read errors (noerror option)."
Also, I was recently told about the dd_rescue utility, but I haven't had the misfortune/opportunity to try that one yet.
