*************
- get rid of the unneeded lseek()'s during reads/writes
- get rid of the unneeded lseek()'s during reads/writes (probably it
doesn't improve performance much, or any at all)
- catch if source and dest are the same
- add dd's noerror option
- disable consistency check for --metadata (e.g. if the check is crashing)
- ignore consistency check (different than "disabling" fsck)
- make "wiped", etc statistic variables long long
- option: --inode
- option: --data
- metadata cloning: skip more non-needed inodes
- manual: document LFS issues (smbfs' lfs option, nfs)
- manual: mention optimized seeks
- manual: optimal backup if disks have bad sectors
- manual: ntfsclone guarantees the restored image works only
if one restores to the exactly same partition. For example,
one can not copy system partition to a different partition:
minimum "hidden sectors" field and BOOT.INI need modifications.
We could do these adjustments optionally.
- check if kernel block size = GCD(page size, device size) makes
effect on performance (Al Viro says no)
- check whether the O_WRONLY -> O_RDWR change made effect on performance
