If the fs is mounted read/write, it can very easily happen, that the filesystem isn't "consistent"; ie. you start to read from the source and when you get to the end, stuff has changed. If you really must use dd (why?), I would *VERY* much urge to use LVM snapshots. But in reality, I'd rather use rsync to keep the two discs in sync. > The idea is to copy the whole filesystem to another > disk and keep it sync.

What do you think you gain by using dd, compared to the more traditional way of copying just all the files (be it with tar, be it with rsync or even with plain cp)?
