you could also use netcat to transfer the files instead of ssh, would |

probably be closer to the speen of the lan and have less CPU overhead |

if your hard drive is trashed like you say it is, you may want to use |

ddrescue ( sys-fs/ddrescue ) |

| 22 |
_NOT_ currently mounted, at least not in write mode, or the image you |
| 23 |
produce could be crufted. |
