Copy SCSI disk including, if any, the first cylinder

[terry.bowling at verizon.com]

With a failing disk, you might also want to consider using the dd 
arguments
conv=sync,noerr
Read the man pages or google it for more details, but it basically is a 
more graceful and efficient way of handling bad bits of data on the 
failing source drive.;

Copy SCSI disk including, if any, the first cylinder






I have a failing SCSI disk in my LX164. I need to copy it *totally* onto
a SCSI disk of the same size. I know how to copy all the files but I
don't know if there is any boot stuff located on the first cylinder
other than the BSD label and if so, how do I copy it. Will someone help
please? Thanks!

Bob
