To "dd" or not to "dd"?

I have a Solaris 2.7 and a Solaris 2.9 machine. I have mounted an external LINUX volumne with 1TB size on these two machines.

My problem is how do I copy files to the volume? If I use "cp", it will take for ever to finish the copy. I was thinking of using 'dd' but I am reading from the "man" that the devices should be of the same size in order to do a block by block copy.

I don't have a back up solution and am trying to use the classing method of copying files.

Can anyone suggest some thing here?

Thanks for your help.

mcopymsg(9F)						   Kernel Functions for Drivers 					      mcopymsg(9F)

NAME
mcopymsg - Copy message contents into a buffer and free message SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h> #include <sys/strsun.h> void mcopymsg(mblk_t *mp, void *buf); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
mp Message to be copied. buf Buffer in which to copy. DESCRIPTION
The mcopymsg() function copies the contents of the specified message into the specified buffer. If the message consists of more than a sin- gle message block, the contents of each message block are placed consecutively into the buffer. After copying the message contents to buf, mcopymsg() frees the message mp. The provided buffer must be large enough to accommodate the message. If the buffer is not large enough, the results are unspecified. The msgsize(9F) function can be used to calculate the total size of the message beforehand. RETURN VALUES
None. CONTEXT
This function can be called from user, kernel or interrupt context. SEE ALSO
