One other way: mirror the boot/root/install devices |
| 10 |
(maybe a single partition). You can make, sync, |
| 11 |
and drop the mirror, install grub on the new mbr |
| 12 |
and have a clone of the system (basically you'd |
| 13 |
be in the same situaiton as if the primary drive |
| 14 |
of a mirrored setup croaked). |
