Hello SuSE folkz, I've rsync'ed my existing SuSE 9.0 Linux installation on a SCSI hard drive, which I want to install into another compatible SCSI system but under different SCSI ID. My question is what do I have to change in replicated hard drive installation, except mount points in /etc/fstab file, in order to connect it to the SCSI controller under different SCSI ID?
None. It does not matter what the scsi ID is only that you setup the proper mount points in /etc/fstab.

That assumes he doesn't have other SCSI drives ahead of the new drive in the line up..... A big assumption. If the partitions in use (for your linux system) will be the same, then you really wouldn't have to change anything. /dev/sda3 on the old system becomes /dev/sda3 on the new system and everyone (fstab, grub, etc) should be happy. But I would doubt if that is the case. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
