You are forcing a failure and wonder that it hangs? Make sure the destination is compatible and it will work. BTW, doing that type of copy is recommended ONLY when both source and destination are EXACTLY the same. Dd does an exact byte for byte copy of everything on the source disk. The destination will be an exact copy of the original in every respect (partitions, MBR, cylinders, heads, sectors, LBA, labeling, bad blocks, etc.) even if they were not the same before the copy started. > Does anybody know this problem ? > > > Thanks > > > Jan > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
