I have a 160GB 3.5" Disk for my swap and root partitions and it has a few bad sectors. I would like to change this disk to a 2.5" 160GB Disk
I also have a 500GB 3.5" disk for my home partition that I would like to replace with 2x1TB 2.5" in RAID1 (Mirror)
Does anyone have any advice on how I should go about upgrading my disks? I have not had to do this in linux before and would like to get it right first time.
Shortest path: backup data, reinstall everything, restore backup.
All I know is that cloning the disk in the case of my root drive will not work due to the disk ID but I cannot find a working guide on how to do this correctly..
My MoBo supports RAID, should I use this functionality or set up a software RAID with opensuse?
Unless you are using a very high end motherboard..the answer to that question is no. Most if not all "fakeraids" included with consumer-level motherboards are of horrendous quality.
What are the steps to replace a disk in a mirror if one was to fail? Is it a simple process like on my FreeNAS?
