said Thierry de Coulon via tde-users: | Although I can't figure out why dd should have "wiped" a partition (did | you use any complicated dd command?), for backups and copies I rely on | Image for Linux. sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress (They were of course unmounted, and the machine was running on sda) I cannot understand at all why it nuked the ~/home partition on the source drive. Additionally, it finished normally and reported no errors. I am at a loss to explain it, nor can I find and similar reports. The target drive not working out, perhaps. But ruining the source drive seems almost impossible. But there I am. | Yes, you pay for it, and some have pretended that you where just paying | for dd, but as far as I am concerned it never failed me. Nor me before, either. And I've used it to copy very big drives full of important data. This time was not a critical loss. The other times it would have been. In that sense, I'm very lucky. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
