Hello everybody,
:confused:
I have to change the system disk on an old PC running SCO 5.0.5.
The disk is up and running, this is a preventive action.
My experience on UNIX is very limited and I look for the easyest solution to clone this unit.
Is it possible with commands or through a clone... (2 Replies)
I am using ufsdump and ufsrestore to clone the root disk on one of my servers. I would like to automate this as much as possible, but have run into a problem where it prompts for changing the owner/mode when it is complete.
Any ideas for running this in the background and not being prompted?

Hello guys!
I use the Solaris 10 x86 machine.
I need to clone the boot disk.
Why, when I copy slice 1 - there is a following:
# ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0d0s1 | (cd /mnt && ufsrestore rf - )
DUMP: Warning - super-block on device `/dev/rdsk/c0d01` is corrupt - run fsck

pipemeter
PIPEMETER(1) General Commands Manual PIPEMETER(1)NAME
pipemeter - measure speed of data going through a pipe/redirection
SYNOPSIS
pipemeter [ -alV ] [ -s size ] [ -b block_size ] [ -m max_block_size ] [ -i interval ] [ -f infile -f infile2 ] infile infile2 ...
DESCRIPTION
pipemeter simply takes input on stdin, and redirects it to its stdout. While doing this, it measures how fast the data is moving through
it. Alternatively, with the -s parameter, shows a progress bar as data is piped through it. All output generated by pipemeter is written
to stderr.
While running in progress mode, pipemeter will display the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). When exiting, it will change this field to show
the elapsed time for the program. In rate-only mode, it will just show elapsed time.
Note that as of pipemeter 0.8, Adaptive Block Sizing is used to speed up the movement of data through it. It will increase, or sometimes
decrease, the block size in an attempt to find the one that works best for the combination of input and output. This also helps it deal
better with, for instance, a temporarily busy disk. You can use -a to turn it off.
-s, --size size
Sets the size of the input, and turns on the progress bar.
-b, --blocksize block_size
Sets the size of blocks, in bytes, to move through the program at once. Default is 8192. A suffix of K means Kilobytes(x*1024) means
Megabytes(x*1024*1024), and G means Gigabytes(x*1024*1024*1024).
-m, --maxblock max_block_size
Sets the maxium block size for adaptive block sizing. Default is 8M.
-i, --interval interval
Specify the number of seconds between updates on the speed and/or progress bar.
-f, --file infile
infile specifies a file to be read instead of stdin. It will also automatically turn on the progress bar if a size can be deter-
mined. Multiple occurances of -f will read the files in the order they are specified on the cmdline, and sizes will be added to
eachother. Note that this option remains for backward compatibility, it is far simpler to just specify the input files without
options.
-F, --list listfile
specifies a file to read in the list of input files from. Each line is a path to a file, terminated by a newline.
-r, --report
report only mode. This causes the program to suppress outputting/calculating while running. It will print out only one line.
-a, --autooff
turn off adaptive block sizing. Sometimes ABS can use insane amounts of RAM, such as when reading and writing to RAM disks.
-V, --version
Prints a version number and exits.
-l, --log
Turns on logging mode. Uses only newlines, no returns.
