Linux DD command partition -to- partition
- by Ben Jackson
I just used the DD command to copy the contents of one partition over to another partition on another drive, like this:
dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=noerror
sda2 partition was 66GB and sdb2 was 250GB. I read that by doing this the extra space on the drive I am copying to will be wasted, is this true?
I wasn't worried about loosing…
