Hi, The problem is that the original file system (ext4) has no inode available and increasing the size of an ext4 file system does not increase the number of the inode. To have no more inode problem the new filesystem is xfs, so I can not copy data with dd. > As Les said tho, it's usually easiest to just leave the old data in place > tho, and build a new set of backups on the new disks. I stopped copying, deleted the two logical volumes and created a large logical volume that is formatted to xfs for backuppc. I keep four old drives for possible recoveries... :o) Regards. -- ============================================== | FRÉDÉRIC MASSOT | | http://www.juliana-multimedia.com | | mailto:frede...@juliana-multimedia.com | | +33.(0)2.97.54.77.94 +33.(0)6.67.19.95.69 | ===========================Debian=GNU/Linux=== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
