up on the mbr. Does this seem okay, have I missed something out? Also, I do not know how to create the partitions on the new disk for a resier filesystem.
The necessary steps are: - Create partitions as needed on the new disk (don't forget the swap partition) using the tool of your choice (fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk). - For normal reiser partitions, simply run 'mkreiserfs /your/partition. - Mount the new partitions. - Copy the old contents to the new partitions (cp -a). - Modify /etc/fstab to reflect the new configuration. - unmount the new partitions -reboot. All these steps should be done in single user mode (i.e. runlevel 1 or S). -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
