[SunHELP] dd command

[duke.glover at verizon.com]

try this ----  this assumes your new HD is c0t1d0 (change to meet your
needs)

dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=3677184

This will make an exact copy of c0t0d0s2 onto c0t1d0s2

s2 represents your whole disk

afterward run an fsck on the new disk

HTH,

Duke Glover

Probably your output device file (of=/dev/rdsk/cxtxdx) does not exist,
typo?, so the data is written into a newly created plain file in /dev,
filling up your disk.
