Forgive the top posting. Is it just me or has this exact email been set to the list 3 or 4 times already? Repeatedly sending the same message with get no more of an answer than sending it just once. If someone has help for you they would have already responded.

Hy there! first of all, forgive my english, i read a lot better then write!!

Oh great hall of linux geeks, my question is the following :

I´ll need to upgrade my production network server (samba + mysql) hd´s, with the following scenario :

i actually have 4 20 Gig disks, 2 of then into an raid1 (software) and another two for backups pourpouses, but my poor raid is actualy 97% full..... and if our dear shoes designers save another 200 megs files, i´ll probably will have my face into a dart target...

no problems into transfering data, partitioning, building raid valumes, blablabal,

BUT I CAN´T BOOT! please, i´m completly newby with boot loaders over linux machines, i´ve been searching discussion lists like these, googling a lot ever the last week, but everywhere where someone tell woh to make it, theres a lack of information exacly where they say how to transfer the boot, and time is going short!

P.S : not shure about wich boot loader actualy using.. LILO or GRUB, both are installed, and can´t restart server over next 3 weeks!

using SUSE 8.1

any help, even a link, would be very welcome.

Ok, but how about slowing down and giving some more details.... You have essentially two drives now (raid) that are 'production' and almost full. How do you plan to move to new drives? Install the new drives alongside the current drives and do a copy of some kind? blah blah blah. Solving the boot problem is probably the least of your concerns... and if you fill us in with some more details, we can probably help.
