Re: cloning a FreeBSD HDD



Hi,

This is my first day on the list so please pardon me if I am on the wrong
list and any mistakes I make.

I would like to create a bootable clone of a HDD running BSD version 4.8. I
have experience of cloning linux machines successfully but understand that
freebsd is a little different.

please, try to clone your disk as described in the FAQ
"9.2. How do I move my system over to my huge new disk?":

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK

Following that advice results in a bootable clone of your disk.

Dirk
