failing scsi drive

[Seth Dimbert]

I just read about this software this morning in the LangaList Newsletter:

>From www.partimage.org:

"Description: Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions
in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file can be
compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into
multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example), ....
The partition can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0."

Good luck!

Subject: failing scsi drive

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
