I'm trying to be prepared in case my SSD fails. |
| 2 |
If it did, I would buy a replacement & use my sync'ed copy of system files |
| 3 |
to restore the Gentoo system without needing to re-install it. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
One question, if anyone can help : in order to have a working system, |
| 6 |
I think I'ld need to rewrite the master boot record onto the new SSD. |
| 7 |
I use Lilo, which has a line 'boot=<device-name>': |
| 8 |
would it be enough to simply run Lilo, perhaps from System-Rescue ? |
| 9 |
Should I have a back-up copy of the present MBR to use & if so, |
| 10 |
what is the correct command to copy it & later put it in the proper place ? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If I do find myself facing this problem one day, I may not have e-mail, |
| 13 |
so I'ld like to have the necessary info saved for when it's needed. |
