It seems strange telling Ray Olszewski (the Answer Man)
how to do something, but here goes:
--------------------------------
dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=2M
--------------------------------
That will clone the slave HD on the primary IDE interface
to the master HD on the secondary IDE interface. Set bs
close to the size of the HD buffer.
The two HD do not have to be the same size. The destination
drive can be larger, but then there will be space left-over
(which, I think, can be allocated with fdisk).
Cheers,
Steven
