In Solaris, the command: /usr/sbin/prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | /usr/sbin/fmthard -n mirror -s - /dev/rdsk/c3t3d0s2 would output the partition information from one disk and use that info to partition the 2nd disk. Is there command in Linux that will perform the same as the Solaris command above? I'm using RH8. I'm planning on then mounting the individual partitions and copying over data. I know I could use dd and be done with it. However I've heard that dd isn't very reliable for cloning disks. Thanks, Christian Christian P.
