Hi

I'm on Trisquel 9. I was cloning an sd card to another using dd. However instead of copying onto the sd card it seems to have copied onto my root file system. I thought I was doing a direct transfer but I guess it must have been making an image first. Now my hard drive is full and I can't boot into Trisquel. I have a dual boot with Ubuntu Studio so I can access my file system but I don't know where the image is to delete it.

If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I would be very gratefull

Thanks
Pete

Look into the bash history file? If you're using bash. To see what the output of the dd command was?

Ah, yes I mistakenly put the output as just sdb instead of /dev/sdb so it created a file in my home directory. Deleted and all sorted.

Thank you so much
