Partitions will not mount once target system is reimaged using dd
I am trying to dd an entire hard drive and copy it to another harddrive and experiencing problems for which I can't seem to find an answer.
Questions:
What do the error messages below indicate? Is there a solution?
Are the error messages due to the difference in drive sizes?
Is it possible to dd from a larger drive size to a smaller drive size? If not is there another, free, solution to reimage linux systems. I'm asking b/c I have secured the source system which took a considerable amount of time using DoD and NSA standards and don't want to lose this work.
The source system is an HP Proliant DL380 G5 using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.x86_64), RAID6, LVM (v2.02) on an ext4 filesystem.
Source system:
1) booted via RHEL live cd into rescue mode
2) unmounted all partitions
3) mounted external harddrive
4) dd source drive to external harddrive using the following: Target system:
1) booted via RHEL live cd in rescue mode
2) did not mount any partitions
3) mounted external drive
4) Used the following to dd image onto target drive:
fdisk on source system: fdisk on target system after reimage and reboot: After reimage and reboot of target system:
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 is mounted as /
Error messages after rebooting the target system:
