Hi ! Try using the dd comand the sintax is dd if=[input partition] of=[output partition] with the DD you could copy an entire partition, and use the mkswap and swapon to recreate and enable the swap partitions
Hi, I am setting up a raid array using the Software-RAID-HOWTO.
In the section "Root Filesystem on RAID" he explains how to copy a working filesystem to a new raid array. The commands are:
cd / find . -xdev | cpio -pm /mnt/newroot
What is going on in that command?
Does anyone else have a favorite command to do this function, which may be easier to remember? Why didn't he use dd?
Thanks for any insight.
