Yesterday I ruined my partition table on one of my machines. Luckely this machine was almost an exact copy of another that still is running fine.
So, I can follow the procedure of copying one disk to another (following the handbook). But this requires a fysical removal / action on the machines and harddisks witch I don't want to do if not needed. I did a minimal install on the crashed machine (#B) If disk'cloning' can be done through NFS that'll be the way to go for me. Will it be enough to export /var /usr /tmp and / (#B) to mountpoints on machine #A and then follow the 'normal' dump/restore procedure mentioned in the handbook? Or are there side_effects and will fysical placement of the 'new' drive in machine #A be the right way to do it? Thanks for any advice. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
