I am already doing that, but using clonezilla instead of DD. I should end up with the same result. However, I did that so I had a safe copy. It's taken 4 1/2 hours so far, and hasn't finished yet. If I do the same again to have a working copy it'll be tomorrow before I get it working. The other thing I wondered is whether that would actually work. Doesn't mdadm store unit ID's to prevent drives changing sequence when booting up? Wouldn't it just see the same drive twice? I was hoping I could just get the system so I could boot from sdb, and then get it to rebuild the RAID while the server is up and available. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
