UFS e2image for FreeBSD

[balanga]

e2image is a Linux tool which can be used to copy ext2, ext3, and ext4 partitions efficiently by only copying the used blocks.

Is there anything equivalent on FreeBSD for use on UFS partitions?

dump(8)()/restore(8)()

You're probably looking for sysutils/clonehdd.

How about tar(1) and rsync(1) with respective command-line options?

clone a local disk

Hi all, I have to clone an entire disk into another locally attached disk, and I was thinking about dd (I want to clone partitions at all). Any other suggestion and/or command to use?

In the meantime sysutils/clone made it into the ports, and the scripts clone2img and img2clone should just work with it like shown in the old thread.
