Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it :-) Majordomo works fine for me (I run the NOLUG list with it, among others). -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous." --- David Bradley, the IBM employee that invented CTRL-ALT-DEL -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> goes out to Scott Harney and the BRLUG in general for providing me with a great free method of migrating a RAID 5 set to a different set of disks (read up below if you want the details). It took some research and preparation, but I finally got it to go on our production web server, which has about about 40 GB of data on it. Scott et al, I finally got it to go by using the Ubuntu(sp?) live CD and apt-getting partimage. I had problem with this particular dell, in specific the PERC 2 Raid card and AIC scsi drivers on just about every version of Knoppix causing the system to either not boot or not see the RAID set. Ubuntu finally got me in there, though. I have to say I was frankly amazed when the system booted up with windows when I was done. No more crunchy old scsi disks! More space! What a country! Thanks again!

It comes with partimage which can easily image NTFS partitions. You need a temporary place to store the data Here's how I did it. http://www.scottharney.com/cgi-bin/blog.cgi/Computers/OS/Linux/Tips/knop pix_and_partimage.writeback basically I had a solaris box nearby running nfs so I saved the image temporarily to an nfs share. But you could save it to a locally attached extra disk (firewire, usb2) because knoppix will recognize that or even a samba share. knoppix recognizes all the perc controllers I've thrown at it up to PERC/4 > > I have an entire new disk set for a raid5 volume on one of my servers > (which happens to be win2k).
