If I am on my local laptop, I can 'dd' an 8G partition to a removable HD of the same or slightly larger size (slightly large because of geometry differences). If I am on my desktop, "I can 'dd' the same size partition to a slightly larger one -- again, no problem. But if I use: dd if=/dev/hda2 bs=1M|rsh other-system of=/dev/sda2 bs=1M, I get failures of running out of room on target. ?I've tried a variety of block size ranging from 1K->64G, but no luck. Is there something in the networking code that's preventing me from transferring more than a 2 or 4 G limit? I just wanted an exact image off onto another system. ?Would seem to have been straight forwared. but I guess not? ?
