Backing up and restoring with dd
I have the drive from my O2 in the second disk slot of my Tezro and want to back it up. I just did 
Code:
dd if=/dev/dsk/dsk0d2vol of=o2.img
and I get a .img file the size of the disk. But if I reverse those arguments to write the image to a new disk, it seems to just run forever. Am I doing it wrong? I also appear unable to mount the .img file with
Code:
mount -o loop o2.img /o2
but I'm not sure if that's a limitation in IRIX's mount command or an incorrectly made image.
