[dundee] Image hard drive to file

[Lee Hughes]

I'd go with that...

I should of said, you can't use dd to image a mounted filesystem without the risk of corrupting you data.

how's that....

Anyone else for an argument about semantics? send email to /dev/null.

..Sorry about the low SNR Gordon, but if someone going to talk nonsense,
I will have to correct them.

I think if we are giving out advice we should stick to accepted
standard practices and procedures. If we are given advanced advice
where there is an element of risk, this should be pointed out. For
recipients of advice, the onus is on them to do further research to
check the validity of advice, i.e. use at their own risk. Everyone
have a nice day.
