I have a SLES10 SP1 install in a hardware RAID 5 config. I am looking at adding another Array to the server and what i want to do with that array is mount the entire /opt directory and all its contents onto this new array. Is it possible to do this with the current install or would this break things by mounting to the new array? I really don't want to have to reload everything on this server. Here is what i was thinking: Boot the system, with the new drives installed, with the IBM servraid disc. Configure the new array, prolly RAID 0. Here is where i need some help. Can i then boot the system with SLES10 install disc and mount the existing /opt directory and all its contents on the new array? Looking for help
Create the new partion on the new RAID array. Copy over all the existing /opt, edit /etc/fstab and then remount /opt. If your previous /opt was a directory under /, you'll probably want to delete all the files in it, after you've verified the new /opt works. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
