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?
dd has a man page. You can also google for more info. It works the
same on OS X as any *nix.
If you're looking to clone the entire device, including all partition
tables and filesystems on the disk, use the rdisk device. You'll
probably want it unmounted.
