I wanted to clone a drive as I have done many times before. I booted from
a knoppix cd and ran dd if=/dev/hde of=/dev/hdg as root. Both drives had
been proven to be sound and bootable before this exercise. The process
stopped with the message 'input/output error'. My question is: 'What tests
can I make to identify what might have gone wrong?'
First, both disks are identical except for content.
Second, I have been cloning all the drives on my systems using dd for about
four years without any problems.
Third, Thank you all for your advice. I'll see how it goes next week.
