How to duplicate a drive in Unix?
Post 17211 by AtleRamsli on Tuesday 12th of March 2002 08:14:55 AM

I just compiles myself a new fBSD4.4 kernel, and there was a 'parallel bus' there - I don't have any parallel devices (whatever happened to Centronics, I still have printer cables that take a Centronics in each end)
Have you tried FreeBSD?
It seems a shame not to be able to run an OS just for that reason!
FreeBSD can also, at least in theory, read ext2, so you don't need a new partition or anything (eh, I think my pants are on fire)
- but you could give it a try - use MFS or something as rootdev?
