How to use dd to make splitted ISO images from an storage device?
- by Gustavo Bandeira
This is a double question, I just hope it's valid.
I need to know how to use dd to make splitted ISO images from some storage device, I'm doing it through SSH: the process is slow and the risk of faling at the mid of the operation (1) is high then I need to know how to make these splitted ISO images from my storage device. (2)
I'm searching for some reference on dd, it could be a book or a good website about it for when any doubt arises.
1 - I'm doing it on a ~60GB storage device, it took me a whole day to copy ~10GB from this disk.
2 - For curious people, I'm trying to recover an accidentaly deleted file from an iPod, until now I've been able to make the whole process, I just need to improve it beucase I left it copying the disk yesterday: Today it gave me an error when it was at ~10GB.
