this is basically what I did when I had to move a 100GB backuppc partition from one machine to another. it only took about 12 hours; whereas it would have taken days if done with tar or anything else that read hard links. I probably did something like: old-machine# dd if=/dev/vg00/lv00 | gzip | nc newhost 8888 new-machine# nc -l -p 8888 | gunzip | dd of=/dev/vg00/backup then resize the filesystem that was copied, to take advantage of the space on the new partition on the new machine. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
