Linux Clone
I have cloned linux using dd and several cloning software. They all fail when booting. The clone process is from computer to usb external hard drive and then to another computer. The original HD is IDE and the final HD is SATA. Does anybody know of a documented procedure to get this job done?

It is the way to do with cloning.
Modern Linux since 2.6.28 kernel treats IDE disks same as Sata disks by using libATA but if you have a kernel trying to be backward compatible then IDE may still be called hda to hdd inside the Linux. In such a case you need to update its boot loader and fstab. Don't know about your other cloning software but you can't get anything other than a 100% mirror image by dd by cloning the whole disk. dd never fails me, on any OS and any number of them. |
