SMART is saying that one of my hard drives is an accident waiting to happen and that I should replace it. No worries there, as I have two 160gb hard drives just sitting around in an unused box I was going to cannibalize anyway. But it does have / and /home on it, so what would be the best way to go about doing this? I think I have an IDE slot to plug in the new drive, or at least I could temporarily replace my CD or something.
I assume I would want to use dd or something?
Hi Jonathan The last time I did this, I used rsync --archive and it seemed to work well. I don't have any hard links in my home directory, so that wasn't a problem. Good luck Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
