So far so good. Finally got around to actually installing the new drive this morning, since the system was down anyway due to a power flicker on account of the weather.
I used gparted to make 3 partitions on the new drive (which came up as /dev/sdf due to sda through sdd being used by the card reader and sde being a 9GB SCSI drive I forgot was still installed.) It was 200GB for /shared, 150GB for /home, and 150GB for /workspace. After that, I made mountpoints for them at /shared-new, /home-new, and /workspace-new then just did a straight over copy from /shared and /workspace to /shared-new and /workspace-new. Those two were remounted as /shared and /workspace and their counterparts on /hdb were remounted as /shared-old and /workspace-old, and /etc/fstab updated appropriately. For /home, I went ahead and used mondoarchive to make a set of 4 iso images on the new /workspace, then used mondorestore to restore them intact to /home-new. Apparently I made some minor error in the backup, because when I remounted /home-new as /home and unmounted the original /home, /the new /home showed as: /home |_/home Fortunately, I was able to log into a root terminal and use Midnight Commander to copy everything from the home subdirectory into the home root directory, so all is well there now. Next up will be to run mondoarchive on hda and make isos on /workspace, then restore to hdb. After that, I can swap the two drives around and make the 80GB drive (the old hda) into a nice big scratch space. But before I do all of that, I think I need to run a few more tests to make sure everything copied okay... In other words, time to fire up City of Heroes for a bit. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
