<0> ok
<1> the default softbs (block size for copy operation) is 64k
<0> I dont know how dd_rescue does it
<1> I should have written "frequency of fsny calls on outfile" instead of "sync frequency". Does that make a difference?
<1> fsync
<0> no
<2> when im trying to compare variable size, using ${#var}, its not working.. :(
<3> -eq
<0> tiGbx: if [ "${#var}" -eq "${#var2}" ];
<0> == is for strings, counter intuitively
<2> im using -le
<0> whats the line
<2> var=20; until [ ${#var} -le 8 ] do blahblah
<2> its not going into my do
<3> huh?
<4> huh yourself
<3> var=four;var2=five;[ ${#var} -eq ${#var2} ] && echo Yes
<0> cause ${#var} == 2
<0> ${var} == 20
<0> ${#var} is the string length
<2> oh crap
<1> Idle247: wif you read the beginning of www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/, do you understand how it does it?
<0> kinda busy
<2> thanks yalls
<1> Idle247: sorry for so many questions.
<0> :P
<1> But I feel that we are close to solve the issue :-)
<0> you should not use conv= at all
<0> if you want a raw raw raw copy
<0> of course, noerror helps
<1> did you access the link above?
<0> no
<1> may I please ask you to just read the beginning?
<2> can you do and/or conditionals in bash?
<0> tiGbx: yes
<2> pipe?
<0> if [ test ] || [ othertest ]
<0> && as well
<2> ahh double pipes
<0> newbie77: looks like dd will work just fine
<0> standard dd, to restore
<2> oh, brackets around each section?
<0> tiGbx: yes
<0> as its 2 seperate instances of 'test'
<0> I think 'test' may support internal ands
<0> -a
<0> and -o
<0> if [ test -o othertest ]
<0> man test
<2> cool
<1> Idle247: so you had a look at the website? (sorry for asking this, but the data is very important)
<0> newbie77: keep that data file, and dd it to another disk...
<0> or copy, then mount the 'image'
<1> but did you read the beginning of that webpage about dd_rescue??
<5> hi.. is there any reason this wouldn't work: i have windows and want to test linux on a root partition .. i install and it works, so i delete the windows, move the root partition and create a swap and home and go on with life
<0> YES
<0> its just a raw copy, ffs
<0> zoibergus: bootloader
<0> reinstall it
<5> but other than that i should be okay?
<0> and depends how you move it
<5> what do you mean?
<1> Idle247: Thank you very very much!!
<0> :)
<6> :-)
<0> zoibergus: if you just change the partition start, wont work
<0> if you actually move the data, then it will
<0> you cant just move a partition
<5> if i use gparted or something?
<5> or even partition magic?
<0> I personally like cp -rp, since I can use unmatched sizes
<0> no
<0> partition magic wont move the data around
<0> honestly, leave your root partition alone
<0> use that now free space, or 'windows' partition, and just make that a new /home, or similar
<0> or make a lvs, to combine it with an existing drive
<1> can cp copy partitions too?
<0> not really
<5> how big should i make my root partition? like 5 gigs?
<0> should be enough, yes
<0> depending tho
<5> just for a simple laptop .. only planning on having root swap and /home
<0> if you start filling it with a complete install, youll have issues
<1> when you say "not really", does that mean "no", or "usually no, but sometimes maybe yes"? (please understand that I learned English late :-)
<0> I generally just do a /, no swap, just a swapfile
<7> whats a swap file?
<0> newbie77: I mean, it can copy the data, if your very careful
<0> but, generally, no, dont do it, ever
<1> thanks
<0> Waterman: use a swap file, instead of a partition
<5> Idle247 is there any performance difference?
<0> like, /swapfile, then add it to fsta
<0> b
<0> zoibergus: I dont see any
<0> rarely do you ever touch swap
<5> oh so there's really no point to it then
<7> Idle247, which means u dont have to create a swap partition you can use swap space that is created on / for example?
<0> 15:31:47 up 374 days, 15:45, 1 user, load average: 0.13, 0.03, 0.01
<0> woooohooo
<0> Waterman: which also allows you to change the size :D
<7> hm
<7> how do you create that?
<0> dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile
<0> mkswap /swapfile
<0> swapon /swapfile
<7> nice
<0> add it to fstab
<7> thx
<5> interesting
<7> i know
<7> :)
<5> adds a lot of flexibility
<7> 257 mb
<7> :D
<7> enough
<6> :)
<7> so its reserved space for swap
<7> it i understand
<7> just like partition
<7> empty space that is located on /
<7> if*
<0> :D
<7> ?
<0> yea
<7> nice..
<0> I hate seetting aside space for anything
<7> me too
<7> this is good
<7> it works
<7> /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
<7> itd my fstab line , looks fine?
<0> yea
<7> nice :)
<7> i have 1 gb of ram
<7> 256mb swap should be enough
<7> :D
<7> 245*
<8> Waterman i'd set the same amount
<7> :D
<7> hehe
<6> :o)
<7> this is good
<8> in the good old days it was 2.5 times your core
<0> I use 19mb swap, on 160mb ram
<7> yes
<7> 19?
<0> yea
<7> as far as i remember using red hat 6.0
<0> its been running for over a year
<7> 32mb ram -> 64 mb swap
