And it has its own REPL implementation that is actually worse than 5.1's in some ways, so~

So I'm taking a look at my old hard disks. First up is 64GB SSD. It has NTFS boot partition and NTFS main partition... I think I want to clone the boot partition in case I want to check out the contents of the .img in a virtual machine.
19:33
< Yossarian>
to use `dd` to backup the entire disk (/dev/sdf - in this case) does block size matter?
19:36
<@Tamber>
I usually use something like bs=1M (or more like 8M) because istr it speeds it up because it's moving as much as it can per transfer? (even if not necessarily the full 1M/8M)
19:48
< Yossarian>
if I clone the entire disk including the boot partition and my bs size isn't a multiple of the boot partition... can that possibly exlcude some of the data?
19:49
<&[R]>
No
19:49
< Yossarian>
source disk (/dev/sdf) is a solid state drive, so... no CHS or internal CHS via LBA
19:49
<&[R]>
It's solely an efficiency thing
19:50
<&[R]>
You don't even need to use dd
19:50
<&[R]>
You can use cat or pv
19:50 * [R] ends up using pv|ssh occasionally
19:50
< Yossarian>
the larger you increase bs, higher possibility you run into copying a bad piece of data from if?
19:51
<&[R]>
That's not a factor in the possibility of getting bad data
19:51
< Yossarian>
or not quite?
19:51
< Yossarian>
later on, I'm gonna see if I can boot the .img inside qemu
19:52
< Yossarian>
1<&[R]> You can use cat or pv * [R] ends up using pv|ssh occasionally
19:52
< Yossarian>
How's that?
19:52
<&[R]>
pv /dev/sdf | ssh HOST cat \> sdf.img
19:52
<&[R]>
Or
19:53
<&[R]>
ssh HOST cat \> sdf.img < sdf.img (note which < and > is escaped and which isn't)

pv? had to install it real quick, interesting tool: ` pv -EE /dev/sdf > disk-image.img `
19:56
< Yossarian>
very interesting multi-tool

[R]: It seems like Intel 8 Series C220 SATA Controller in AHCI mode (rev 5) is hot swappable.
20:12
<&[R]>
Neat
21:02
< Yossarian>
[R]: some reason the partition table is messed up, might have been that way without my intervention... it's an older SSD
21:04
< Yossarian>
Is there a specific command line option for qemu to enable KVM or is it done by default?
21:04
< Yossarian>
processor has VT-x support

-enable-kvm or -kvm, depends on the version
