Not sure how to describe this but here goes.
I know that file systems use index files to point to files but is there a way to ignore them in copying a disk? So that every single bit is read and recorded? I know that the dvd I'm copying has more data on it so is there a way to just record and write the bits? So far I've tried
Code:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/test.iso
And gotten a 198MB output. On a disk with GBs of data.
So I looked into dd and tried
Code:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/test.iso iflag='noblock' iflag='nocache'
As I'm here you can probably tell it did the same thing but slower. So any way to just copy the entire disk 1:1?
