raw device

RH AS 2.1.

How can I view the content of a raw device? or how can I copy it into another O.S. normal file?

Re: raw device

Yes and No.

Yes, if you know the details about it. (details like block size, the no. of blocks the data resides on etc.)
dd if=/dev/"raw_device" bs=block_size of=/some_file count=x
man dd for details.

If you do not knwo above details, no way to do that.
