Low-level format / hd copying
Two questions:
1. How can I do a low-level format on a harddisk? I haven't been able to
find a utility to do this.
2. If I want to make an exact copy of a harddisk, I should do something
like
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1024
right? If not, what is the best method (which would preserve pewmissions
etc.)?
