Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
currently I set up a freshly new gentoo system "from scratch" |
| 4 |
on another harddisk. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
For that purpose I have two WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 (pasted from |
| 7 |
hdparm -i) harddisk (1TB, advanced format 4096 kb sectors). |
| 8 |
One harddisk is currently holding the gento system, the other |
| 9 |
one is intended as a bare plain copy of the other one (a backup |
| 10 |
while setting up the system). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
With an old KNOPPIX dvd I tried to copy the first hd onto |
| 13 |
the other one with |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=8192 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
which gave me a LOT of I/O errors after a short time. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Still hopeing, that my hardware (motherboard/chipset/bios) and |
| 20 |
the hd are ok I am trying to figure out, what the reason was |
| 21 |
for that... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
My motherboard is an Asus AV8. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
From what kernel version the new advanced format |
| 28 |
of the hd is fully supported ? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Are there other reasons -- beside defective hardware -- for |
| 31 |
the failing dd and how can I fix them ? |
| 32 |
|

Thank you very much in advance for any help! |
| 37 |
best regards |
