I assume you have
hda: your system drive
hdb: disk you want to copy
hdc: destination disk
size of hdc >= size of hdb
You can do:
cat /dev/hdb > /dev/hdc
It will do a perfect copy, but with stock 2.4.xx kernels your system
will be very unresponsive for the copying time. With RH kernels it works
almost smoothly.
Or you can use dd
dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=1024
This will do the same and you will be able to use the system for other
things during copy :)
