I'm sure there's an obvious answer to this, but it is eluding me.
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?
Thanks in advance for any work-arounds and explanations...
