The drive is going bad (reallocated sectors popping up) so I decided to clone it to a new identical drive.
I started a dd if=old drive of=new drive with bs=1M and noticed it is transferring at 15.1 MB/sec. At this rate it will take 3 days to copy over!
Is this to be expected?
Is there a better and faster way to do this?
Should lsblk shows the above after 3 hours running. I thought I would see the partitions in sdc?sdb is the old drive & sdc is the new one.
