Is it possible to dd Boot record and Partition table and then update with rsync












0















DD takes ages while cloning a virtual machine vmdk disk to a (quality) usb flash memory. Is it possible to copy MBR or whatever boot record and partition table the source disk has and then copy files using rsync?



What complications may arise even if I repair and resize partitions right after dd ?
