dd using Digital Unix Tru64
Hi I am posting this in this area because I couldn't find a better place.
I am trying to make exact copies of my disk that I use in an old DEC3000.
I loaded the one disk then used dd
dd if=/dev/rrz0c of=/dev/rrz1c
I started this a 6pm last night here in Wales.
It is now 2pm the next day, that is approximately 20 hours.
This is an 18.2 GB scsi hard drive.
How long do you figure it will take to complete?
Is there an easier way or at least faster?
I was talking to one of my colleagues an he said oh it probably will transfer at 5MB a minute......that's about 1 day...is this right or is it longer?
The read/write led is on with both drives.
Seems to be working.
I used dd with an Ultra5 and ide disks using solaris and it only took about 4 hours.
Thanks for any help

cmdk(7D) Devices cmdk(7D)
NAME
cmdk - common disk driver
SYNOPSIS
cmdk@target, lun : [ partition | slice ]
DESCRIPTION
The cmdk device driver is a common interface to various disk devices. The driver supports magnetic fixed disks and magnetic removable
disks.
The block-files access the disk using the system's normal buffering mechanism and are read and written without regard to physical disk
records. There is also a "raw" interface that provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer. A sin-
gle read or write call usually results in one I/O operation; raw I/O is therefore considerably more efficient when many bytes are transmit-
ted. The names of the block files are found in /dev/dsk; the names of the raw files are found in /dev/rdsk.
I/O requests to the magnetic disk must have an offset and transfer length that is a multiple of 512 bytes or the driver returns an EINVAL
error.
Slice 0 is normally used for the root file system on a disk, slice 1 as a paging area (for example, swap), and slice 2 for backing up the
entire fdisk partition for Solaris software. Other slices may be used for usr file systems or system reserved area.
Fdisk partition 0 is to access the entire disk and is generally used by the fdisk(1M) program.
FILES
/dev/dsk/cndn[s|p]n block device (IDE)
/dev/rdsk/cndn[s|p]n raw device (IDE)
where:
cn controller n
dn lun n (0-7)
sn UNIX system slice n (0-15)
pn fdisk partition(0)
