I have two identical HD in the box and want to duplicate sda to sdb; |
2 |
sdb is not even partitioned. |
3 |
|
4 |
I think I could do: |
5 |
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb |
6 |
but I need to boot from CD isn't it? |
7 |
|
8 |
I would like the second disk to function as an identical bootable backup (just in case something will malfunction after emerge :-/) |
9 |
So I would normally boot from sda but have an ability to boot from sdb, just in case) |
10 |
So after duplicating the disk I would need to modify the grub, fstab on sdb hard disk. |

|
12 |
I'm not even sure if it will do what I need. What are my other options RAID-1? |
13 |
RAID-1 will not protect me if something happens after emerge. |
