Problem, I have a xfs 1TB hard drive with badblocks (/dev/sda1) and
would like to clone it to another 1TB drive (/dev/sdc1), /dev/sdc is
already partitioned and mkfs.xfs run.
I've tried rsync, that didn't do it properly. Next I copied all the data
across, but it gets confused on boot with the different namings in
/dev/disk/by-id/ and what was copied across in /etc/fstab and the stuff
in /etc/grub/.
YaST in 11.2 Alpha0 doesn't now have an entry for cloning a system that
I can identify.
What's recommended?
Regards
Sid.
