Thread: Restoring a partition, dd denied permission to open file


really weird situation.

work:
-------------
sudo bzip2 -dck /media/mtech_laptop_backups/backup.raw.bz2 | sudo dd bs=4k conv=sync,noerror of=/dev/sda1 bs=4k


work: (just testing if work)
-------------
sudo dd if=/media/mtech_laptop_backups/100mb_file.dat bs=4k conv=sync,noerror of=/dev/sda1 bs=4k

doesn't work:
-------------
sudo bzip2 -dck /media/mtech_laptop_backups/backup.raw.bz2 | dd bs=4k conv=sync,noerror of=/dev/sda1 bs=4k


lesson:
-------------
see difference between 1st , 3rd examples . . .?

used 'sudo' again in command has output of bzip2 -dck piped it. reason, after pipe, '|', first sudo no longer in effect.


other thread this:

thred covers issues, had play commands find solution. if knew more cli , redirection, i'd know why. it's safety thing.


notes:
--------------
may affect it? have installation set start no login, although user has password. had same problem using 'try 10.04' cd, however.
