hi, i`m using dd to take an image of whole disk, but as usual dd saves every bit even it is 0, so saving and writing that image to several hd devices (aka clonning) takes long time, i tried partitionimage packet provided by sarge but it does no support to swap and image of whole disk, i can only take the image of ext2,ext3,reiserfs and ntfs partitions but the speed is fine, can you suggest any program like the mix of dd and partitionimage. thanks.
