Hi, I'm facing this problem: |
2 |
|
3 |
I want to exchange hard-drive in my computer for other, bigger |
4 |
one. I do not want to add new hard-drive somewhere on mount-point |
5 |
permanently, I just want to copy everything from the old drive |
6 |
to the new one and then get rid of the old one. And of course, |
7 |
I'd like to use my computer as before. What is the best (maybe |
8 |
I should ask for safest) way to acomplish this? |
9 |
|
10 |
First I thought about "cp -a". But I'm not sure which directories |
11 |
I should skip (/proc, maybe some other like /dev?). And I do not |
12 |
know how cp handles links (if I first copy link and later target, |
13 |
where is the link pointing? to the original file or its copy?). |
14 |
|
15 |
Maybe dump/restore is better solution? Or something else? |
