Re: [Clonezilla-live] Using DD in Shell of Clonezilla?

[Richard K. <ri...@ri...>]

Steve,

I would very much prefer to use clonezilla.  I need a bit by bit copy of the hard drive.  I tried a few times & clonezilla says it cant recognize the partition which is why I am looking toward DD.

I was planning to use this command for a DD transfer (if you think it will work):

dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd conv=notrunc & DDPID=$! ; sleep 1 ; while kill -USR1 $DDPID ; do sleep 5 ; done


Thanks,
Rich

So why you use dd instead of Clonezilla TUI?
If you really want to use dd and get some progress message when it's 
running, you can try partclone.dd, it's available in Clonezilla live, too.
For more info, run:
partclone.dd --help
