I think you don't have to tar/untar, using rsync is more straight forward.
just like: mount /dev/sdb3 /install cd /install rsync -av /* . --exclude=/dev --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/var/tmp --exclude=/selinux --exclude=... make sure /sys, /proc are not included (probably also /tmp, /var/tmp) then: mkdir -p tmp var/tmp chmod 1777 tmp var/tmp mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/temp # orignal / directory cp -av /mnt/temp/dev . # rsync /dev, not directly because /dev is dynamically mounted by udev. mkdir -p sys proc selinux ... please also don't forget mount /boot before rsync (or tar/untar). > If this is correct then I'll chroot into the new environment for > testing, adding grub, etc., and then do a BIOS change to boot off of > the second drive and hopefully be live. I think it will be easier to use LVM then you don't have to manage raw harddisk names like hdaX or hdbX, also it's more flexible and easier to management for your instance, please also don't forget modify /etc/fstab (if neccessary), but you could also use disklabel/uuid instead of raw harddisk names), ie: LABEL=/gentoo / ext3 noatime 0 0 UUID=whatever /var reiserfs noatime,notail,nosuid 0 0 ... > Thanks, > Mark -- Wang, Baojun Lanzhou University Distributed & Embedded System Lab http://dslab.lzu.edu.cn School of Information Science and Engeneering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tianshui South Road 222.
