like i would just tar the / filesystem, but there's not enough space on disk to have a tarball of everything else

@star @freyalikesgirls that's gonna be a very annoying backup to later recover. i would have to somehow turn the file into a block device and then mount it

@freyalikesgirls @star i think it would be easier to just do a normal tar, and pipe the output over stdout. or the normal way of rsyncing the whole filesystem and tar.gz-ing it locally

@green @freyalikesgirls But if you don't want to compress it right away, don't use TAR, just pipe the raw bytes of the disk image into a .img file

@green @freyalikesgirls That's the absolute closest you can get to a 1:1 copy anyway, since that is literally what it is

@green @star @freyalikesgirls you can use losetup to expose that file as a block device (on /dev/loopX) and then mount that or do whatever you need to do

sudo losetup -f MYFILE and it'll give you a loop device to do your stuff with
