Does anyone know of a utility that will make a ‘ghost’ image of a QNX4.24
SCSI drive onto an identical drive for backup purposes.

You’ll want to copt the partition map too.
Use this instead.
cp /dev/hd0 /dev/hd1

I thought this would be my next suggestion, since the partition layout is
easily reconstructed with fdisk.

Thanks. It’s obvious really !

Beware that cp will stop without warning after copying 2Gb (the maximum
size of a regular file), even when copying a block special file!
If your partition is larger, I’m afraid you’re out of luck.

There is a script called QNX_drive_copy on the QNX website/downloads section
that might work for you.

Thanks for the warning. The partition is 32Gb so looks like I’ll have to
copy the files the hard way.

Did you try using ‘dd’ instead of ‘cp’?

Still the script is much better because it will work even if the disk are
not of the same geometry. Further more the script is probably faster unless
the HD is close to full. If the 32Gig HD has 1Gig of file, why copy the
whole 32Gig image. The script also has the advantage of defragmenting
files.

Hello Ray
Try here:
ftp://ftp.qnx.com/usr/free/qnx4/os/utils/disk/
Note that it is from our old user free site and therefore not officially
supported. Make sure that you read the readme before use.
Thanks,

I was just looking at the script and it looks like it uses cp, so this
may not do what you want it too because of the size of the partitions
that you are trying to copy.

The script will be fine, it copies individual files not the entire
partition at once. So it won’t run into the 2GB limit. It is the
perferable way (depending on who you talk to), otherwise just use dd
dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/hd1
to get an exact copy of the drive, and it won’t run into the 2GB problem
either.

Did you try the QNX_Drive_copy script?

You can use cp, however it will take you alot of time, so if you can
mount the partition use the script listed above.
Best regards,

Hello, how are you?. Please, excuse my english grammar
I have a similar situation.
We have machines (equipments) using computers, and computers use QNX
Ver 4.24 One of the machines have a problem to “login-in” like/as
operator (login: operator ), and someone
try to load [i:a880f66587]startup[/i:a880f66587] from another
computer. At the end, the computer sent the message:[i:a880f66587]Starting QNX …

I made the following
1.-
I used another hard disk as Master, and connected the damage hard disk
as slave, but the it was not possible the access.2.-
I tried to make a entire image in a new hard disk from another
computer, using the new disk as slave:[i:a880f66587]cp hd0.0 hd0.1[/i:a880f66587]
The computer start to copy information, but after some minutes sent
the message:[i:a880f66587]Ran out of disk space writting
//1/dev/hd0.1.[/i:a880f66587]The Master disk is of 40Gb and the slave is of 30 Gb, then I used

same message [i:a880f66587]Ran out of disk space writting

3.1 I copied the first files like [i:a880f66587]etc[/i:a880f66587],
mouting the slave disk[i:a880f66587]mount -p /dev/hd0.1
mount /dev/hd0.1t77 /hd[/i:a880f66587]3.2- I copied the other files by means of LAN. Using ftp in
another computer.I have two QNX version 2 & 4, in the old version, it is possible
to make a entire image of the hard disk directly using
[i:a880f66587]cp[/i:a880f66587].Is it possible to do it in QNX Ver: 4.24,or why not it is possible?.
Thanks in advance
