Hello, first: g4u rules! I've been spreading the word about it whenever I have the opportunity to do so. :-)
Now on to my question: there's a FreeBSD server with a single IDE drive that needs to be upgraded to RAID-1 (again IDE). Will the following work as expected? 1. uploaddisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] disk.gz wd0 2. Removing the single IDE disk from the server, pluggin in 3Ware RAID controller and two new IDE disks (larger than the one that was removed) 3. slurpdisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] disk.gz sd0 4. Adjusting /etc/fstab by means of some rescue CD or single user mode to reflect the new boot device names (ad0 to da0). 5. That's it? Few more questions: Does the g4u kernel currently support 3Ware controllers? In FreeBSD it would be the twe/twa driver. If so, will "sdX" (sd0, sd1) be the right device to restore the image to (see point 3. above)? And lastly: could I, instead of FTP, also use an empty external USB HDD (daX (da0, da1 etc.) in FreeBSD) to store and restore from, e.g. 1. copydisk wd0 sd0 (IDE to USB HDD) 2. Removing the single IDE disk ... as above 3. copydisk sd0 sd1 (USB HDD to RAID device. Sorry, not sure about the device names.) 4. Adjusting /etc/fstab ... as above 5. That's it (or am I forgetting something?)? This would probably make it easier and also speed up the copying process. Thanks very much!
