The link in the footer points to g4l, but nothing in your message
mentioning jetcat-mod makes that connection. Only an off-list message
from you explained it, and you then repeated the information on-list.
In my original message to the thread I specified that I had been the
maintainer of the g4l disk imaging project since 2004, and made some
comments. Later there was talk of using dd to do the copy, and I pulled the
one line from the 2000+ line script that specifically does the clone copy
process.
The entire project is on sourceforge with the source code. Project is
completely free, no paid options, no donations. Just an option that some
might find useful.
Wasn't trying to force it on anyone, and just sharing what I had seen over the
years.
