I also tried without -t. I think the reason is that I used dd to copy the entire disk, not individual partitions. That is, I used "if=/dev/sda" as opposed to "if=/dev/sda1". /dev/sda itself doesn't have a filesytem, right?
I could copy at the partition level, but I want to copy at the disk level because I want to get the boot sector so I can use this backup to replace the entire hard drive, but I also want to use this backup to restore individual files.
Hi,
I was wondering if any of you guys know of way to make applications that use sound device on linux to access it in a "non-exclusive manner", the aim is to be able to use more than one application that requires the sound device.
Thanks (0 Replies)

Hello everyone,
I write a program (Linux & Solaris) that will run as non-root user, but the program must have rw access to a device /dev/ipmi (on linux) or /dev/bmc (on solaris).
What is the standard way of granting such access?
Linux:
chmod on /dev/ipmi ?
suid root my program?

Problem statement.
In this part of the assignment, delegates will create a pseudo-device and write a device driver for it. The pseudo-device provides a “backdoor” for gaining root access for a particular user. Instead of compiling the device driver into the kernel, delegate will create a module.... (1 Reply)

REPARTITION(8) System Manager's Manual REPARTITION(8)NAME
repartition - load a partition table
SYNOPSIS
repartition device [partition-file]
DESCRIPTION
Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions of device. The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
given, device otherwise. Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload a partition
or a subpartition table. The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
are coming from partition-file.
EXAMPLES
repartition /dev/hd0
repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table
Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file. The
latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.
DIAGNOSTICS
The new table is printed on standard output.
FILES
/dev/hd[0-9]
SEE ALSO hd(4), part(8).
BUGS
The disk must be in use for the changes to stick. The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
