The collected works of albyn-it

I'm having problems getting the clone procedure in the wiki to work on my Octane2. ( http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/ ... ystem_Disk )

Everything looks good until I execute this command:
xfsdump -l 0 - / | xfsrestore - .

A load of info quickly scrolls off the screen and then the machine locks up - the light bar turns red and I have to press the reset switch or power off !

I have a fresh install of 6.5.29 on a 9Gb system drive (1), and copyng to a 4Gb drive (3). There should be sufficient space as the fresh install appears to be approx 2.5Gb

Just curious what I might be doing wrong.
