Greetings!
I currently have a SuSE 6.3 installation on a 6.4GB hard drive that consists of three partitions (/boot,/swap, and /) that I would like to transfer to a new 20GB hard drive. I'm planning to use Drive Image to copy the partitions directly over to the new hard drive, and then use the unallocated space (~14GB) for a /pub partition.
Does Drive Image do a good job at copying the partitions (no resizing)?
Is there alternative method of preserving an established installation to a new hard drive?
I just asked this in regards to raid. From the Software Raid-Howto: To copy a running root to another drive: cd / find . -xdev | cpio -pm /mnt/newroot where you mounted your empty drive on /mnt/newroot. It is better than dd, because the partitions can be different sizes. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
