Is it possible to mount a (hpux) vxfs system disk on a linux system to perform the cloning?
Thanks for any info. - Micha

Thanks - the tools recommended to be used on linux are not downloadable. The URL is broken. - Micha

Try http://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/mhi/vxfs/ instead.

Thanks - I was under the impression that in order to clone the disk I needed to mount the disks first. It is indeed not necessary to mount the disk, since dd can be used as I witnessed now straight. (dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb) - Micha
