I am interested to see if it is possible to boot on an existing disk -
say /dev/sda ("A") - and then manually create everything required on a
second disk - /dev/sdb ("B") eg:
- create the partition table and partitions on B
- dd the existing boot track(s) from A to a file and then dd that to B
-
or create it from scratch somehow?
- rsync the the first level directories into the appropriate places on
the new drive and partitions (maybe by temporarily booting on a Live
USB
so we are not copying from a running system?)
If this is possible, what else would need to be done on B so that when
drive A is removed, the remaining B (the new "A") drive will be able
to
boot and run normally?
Presumably you would have to (at least)
1. Correct /etc/fstab
2. Install grub on second disk
Ah yes, of course . . I might give it a go . .
Thanks!
Phil.
