Hello!
I have 10.0 installed on a large (but old) disk. Now I have another same sized disk and a (old) smaller disk as well. What I'd like to do is to move the installation from current drive to the smaller drive and then set up the 2 large drives with mirroring (for data).
The guestion is, how can I move everything from one disk to another when they are of different sizes? (Equivalent of what Norton Ghost does I guess.) I think dd only works with same sized disks, right?
I'm thinking that I should create partitions on the new smaller drive. Boot with SuSE-live (or knoppix) and then as root, just "cp *" from
Be careful with using "cp *" as it will not work without the correct switches set. You might also look into using rsync to do the copy process as it works quite well. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
