Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have to move my whole system from one disk to another |
| 4 |
bigger one. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I think of doing as follows: |
| 7 |
Boot a system via CD/DVD (knoppix for example). |
| 8 |
Mount small disk read-only |
| 9 |
Mount bigger disk read-write |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
cd into mountpoint of the first one |
| 12 |
cp -a . ../<mountpoint_of_bigger_disk> |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Seems to me slow but correct? Or? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
(I have to set the bootable flag of the correct partion |
| 17 |
additionally...) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I dont want to have a booting system afterwards, which "runs" for -- |
| 20 |
say -- three month and suddenly hit a obscure bug due to my |
| 21 |
copy-commands, which only did it to 99.87% correct... ;) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I would like to preserve as much as possible of the file/directoy |
| 24 |
times ,,, |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Or does a mystical command with s-tar a better job faster? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Thank you very much in adance for any help! |
