Hi Mark, |
34 |
|
35 |
sorry, but with gparted & Co, I made some experiences which let me |
36 |
leave those tools alone. Maybe the problem sits right in front of my |
37 |
monitor, but... |
38 |
|
39 |
In my case, there is "something in the middle", thats why it is |
40 |
/dev/sda3 and /dev/sd10 and not /dev/sda3 and /dev/sd4... |
41 |
So things getting even more complex and especially complexer |
42 |
than "cp" and friends... |
43 |
|
44 |
Is there any "automagical check" whic does some basic checking, to |
45 |
find the biggest bugs in a fresh 64bit-installation? |
46 |
(Beside those, which are identical on 32bit and 64bit -- like emerge |
47 |
and such...) ? |
48 |
|
49 |
Best regards, |
50 |
