I am moving my fully updated Debian sid from a single partition to a multipartition scheme.
My old "monopartition" which is currently alive is now on /dev/hda12 and is around 3.5 GB.
The doubt I am having is how to properly move the / data to the new 70MB filesystem/partition.
I have two hypothesis:
1) fresh install of sarge netinst to new filesystems, point apt-get to unstable, import dpkg --set-selections, dist-upgrade, upgrade, copy all old /etc data onto the new /etc and the old /home to the new /home.
2) Copy the old /var, /tmp, /usr and /home data onto the new partitions, delete them, copy the rest on the new /
Any advice ??
Please help me understand the proper cpio options for my situation (especially for the / filesystem with /proc and /dev ...).
Thank you in advance, Robert
