There are a few important steps. I did this on my little server and it worked just the way it should. Read

http://www.storm.ca/~yan/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.html

and follow the instructions there. It's very straight-forward and not too difficult. Takes some time, though.

If you need more info, just ask.

Hope this helps!

I would like to copy my entire install onto my new larger hard disk, then
set it up to boot there.  I have the old disk as master and the new as
slave, and I've mounted the slave and used cp -a on the top level
directories. The cp -a of 'initrd' directory complained a bit though, and
I'm not sure what steps are best to take to make the new drive the one
that gets booted from/mounted as root.  Does anyone have software to
recommend other than cp?  What should I do after cp to make initrd setup
work right?

A report of a recend (good) experience with this task would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
