Migrating database using DD

Hi,

Using DD utility migrating the database ( cold copy ) is a good idea? Assume block size between two systems is same.

Thanks.

Re: Migrating database using DD

If you are using raw volumes then this is essentially your only option but otherwise I would stick to more traditional methods like cp. You should also be aware that some dd versions impose a 2GB limit regardless of the largefiles setting of the filesystem.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
