Greetings.

After I cloned root disk to another target disk for backing up and fscked
target disk's slices, I found that there are so many file system errors.
I used following command to clone disk during system is up and running.

# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=1024k

where c0t0d0 is root disk (OS) and c0t1d0 is target disk.

I thought dd is used to copy a complete/whole contents by block so c0t0d0
and c0t1d0 should be same even its VTOC etc.

Question: why target disk have so many file system errors? anything wrong
          with my command or dd itself?

Thanks for reading my posting! :-)
