Hi all,

Maybe not MacOS related, but I'm looking how to clone an entire device drive drive, regardless filesystems on it, I need to "simply" make two hard drive equals, if have read about 'dd' command but is a bit hard to understand the options...

in my opinion should be:

dd if=sourceDrive of=targetDrive conv=notrunc

for source and target should I use 'disk' or 'rdisk' ?

can anyone help me or know where to read further docs?

You'll want to use the raw device name like /dev/rdisk1 and /dev/rdisk2.

As for further docs: I'd suggest google: "dd mac os x"
