Just wondering, maybe I'm missing something obivous:

Can I clone a disk by reading /dev/rsd0c and writing it back on another
harddisk? I know I can do so on NetBSD/i386 and it works even with
different size harddisks (going small image to big disk)[1].

Trying the same on 1.6/sparc gives me a message that the superblock is
not ok an LOTS of errors on fsck.

What do I miss?
