Hello, would anyone help me out with this kind of technical issue? Very appreciate.I'm a new IT guy to server raid, I got two dummy questions:1) Server A has 5 disks with Raid-5 configuration, if I shutdown server A, unplug all these 5 disks, and then.

RAID configuration transferrable? Hardware.

Most cloning software should have the option (which is not usually the default) to do a full sector copy and you just have to enable that option. That's why you need a destination drive the exact same size or larger than the source, and it will take a long time (because what could be empty space is also copied because the copy setting doesn't care). That will copy all data space on the disk (even empty space) so it should not matter what file system is on the disk or the file system compatibility of the host system.

Like Bucko said along with some other people here, the key is probably a sector by sector copy. Where sda is source and sdb is target, bs is block size (you can use larger if you want, like 1M, but don't use less if you're using SSD)

of course target disk has to be same or larger size (or you'll have to deal with shrinking the source.ĭd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb conv=noerror,sync bs=4096 Boot up any linux rescue CD and use DD to clone every bit on it.
