Hey, I am a linux newbie.
Been working with it for the past 2months now and i must say i love every thing new i learned about it about the OS itself and its functionality.

My question is about using the dd command (short for Disk Druid)
i like to call it.. dunkin donuts... cuz you can take a donunt from the source(if) and dunk it to its destination(of).. lol.. i know its a corney lil joke but.. whatever rocks my boat

CAN YOU USING dd TO BRUN TO MORE THAN ONE LOCATION AT THE SAME TIME?

SENARIO/EXAMPLE ((CAN THIS BE DONE))

I tried
time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb

which works fine....

now what about?

a. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc
b. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb & of=/dev/sdc
c. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb && of=/dev/sdc
d. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb | /dev/sdc
e. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb || /dev/sdc
f. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb | of=/dev/sdc
g. time dd if=/mnt/sda of=/dev/sdb || of=/dev/sdc


remember i want to make a copy of one image or drive.. to 2 others AT THE SAME TIME!

PLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEASE TELL ME THIS IS POSSIBLE. AND CAN BE DONE!!

AND GET BACK TO ME BY LETTING ME KNOW HOW.


THANKS IN ADVANCE...

If you are talking about partitions then raid is probably the best way to go.

If you want to do it with files you can link them (I just tested to be sure):

~> vi testing
rossy - trigger - Thu Oct 28 23:14:14
~> touch testing1
rossy - trigger - Thu Oct 28 23:14:16
~> ln testing1 testing2
rossy - trigger - Thu Oct 28 23:14:19
~> dd if=testing of=testing1
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
