I'm about to move a fully functional system from a box with ONE IDE drive to a box with TWO IDE drives configured as RAID-1 (mirror) via Linux software.
Any ideas on how I can do that? Normally a disk to disk would be to use dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb, but that wouldn't work here I guess..
Hi Anders, I want to do the same but have the problem that I don't want to move to another box but just use the second drive (now for backups only) with the first one (system hdisc) as a raid 1. Don't have the time at the moment) My first though was 1. stopping te system 2. booting from a CD 3. make fullbackup (tar) 4. creating the raid (the info on the discs will be destroyed) 5. recovering from the backup 6. additional steps - making system bootable again I have no idea if that would work like that. I have doubts about the additional steps. Don't know what would be necessary do make the system boot again. Maybe someone can give a hint on that. Ulf
