You can even pipe it through gzip to get a compressed image file. I do exactly that... dd piped through gzip then push through an SSH session to a remote where it's extracted and written on the fly to another LV. I use it to move kvm LVs from machine to machine. Works great, but there's not much error checking. If it's critical I do an md5sum on the LVs at the end then compare. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
