Here's my scenario:
I have a system that we are running in production that there was an
oversight on, and it has a single hard drive installed (32GB SCSI I
believe), rather than a 3 drive raid5 array. We would like to correct
this, but we have all sorts of up-to-date packages and config files
that we've tweaked that we would hate to just start over on it.
There's a tool for OSX called "Carbon Copy Cloner" that would take
care of this for me, which is basically a series of copy commands that
takes the filesystem from one drive to another, preserving EVERYTHING
important, and then bless the boot volume.
Is there anything similar I can do on FreeBSD? My boss thinks I
should be able to tar up the entire filesystem, create the raid array,
and untar the whole thing on the new array. I seem to think this will
fail due to block devices that have changed, fstab entries that have
changed (though this is correctable), and symlinks that don't nicely
come across.
Thoughts?
