I have a fully up to date v9.3 system on a 40Gb harddrive. I want to transfer this installation to a new 160Gb harddrive. I want to remove the old 40Gb and trash it. (It's several years old an I want to change it before it fails). Question is how do I transfer the system over including grub etc.
Install new harddrive in existing system e.g. as hdb. Then boot up rescue system or knoppix, mount filesystem(s) from olddisk and newdisk, and rsync -avL <olddisk> to <newdisk>. (double check those rsync parms before you hit enter). Remove old drive, run rescue/knoppix and reinstall grub. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
