Howdy,
Well, it appears we got the init thingy working. I'm about ready to
move things around since one of my drives is about full and I need a
spare to move things around with. I use cp -a to copy things while
booted from a USB stick do hicky. So far, that has always worked and is
pretty fast. I do have a question tho.
When I copy this over, do I still need to copy over null, console and
such to /dev? I know I don't need everything in /dev but do recall
needing those in the past. Has this changed since I'm using the init
thingy? Am I forgetting one? I thought there was three.
Anything else that could be a gotcha? I plan to move this twice. Once
to the spare drive, repartition the OS drive then copy things back over
again. It's been a while and with LVM about to be used, I hope it is
the last time.
Make sure this is really what you want. If *any* of the disks in the
LVM goes bad, you lose everything, not just the data on that single disk.
