There are three additional questions for me. Since I now have |
| 19 |
successfully copied one disk to another I have to decide |
| 20 |
whether I simply repartition the first and copy the contents |
| 21 |
from the second to the first or to gparted the first one. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I tend to do the first thing, since it seems difficult to me |
| 24 |
to check, whether the result of processing the disk with gparted |
| 25 |
is correct. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Therefore the three questions for me are: |
| 28 |
1) Gparted or repartitioning? |
| 29 |
2) What is the most efficient way of copying the contents of one |
| 30 |
partition to another one on per-file-basis, which preserves as |
| 31 |
much as possible of file attributes including the file times? |
| 32 |
3) Excluding typos and other fatal errors: Will it will always |
| 33 |
preserve and leave intact the contents (for example) of |
| 34 |
the first four (1,2,3,6) partitions when repartitioning as follows: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Old ==> New |
| 37 |
1 100M 100M |
| 38 |
2 100G 100G |
| 39 |
3 100G 100G |
| 40 |
5 extended extended |
| 41 |
6 100G 100G |
| 42 |
7 200G 100G |
| 43 |
8 300G 200G |
| 44 |
9 400G 350G |
| 45 |
10 ---- 250G |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
??? |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Excluding any kind of experience, which I do not have |
| 51 |
in this last case I tend to say "Yes" ... but ... |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |
