Hi LugNuts,

It seems we have a failing scsi drive on a server at work.  The machine
is up and running, but I believe we are going to replace the drive. 

Does "ghost" work with Linux???  Will the commands I googled, listed
below, indeed work?

Anyone know of another way?

from google:

If you put the two hard drives on the same machine all you have to 
do is this command

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1024k
where /dev/hda is your old hard drive
and /dev/hdb is your old hard drive

I understand the hda will be sda, etc.

TIA,
E
