RAID = Redundant Array of Independent Disks. I think this explains that it would be nonsense to have raid on a single disk. > i tried to copy the system some time ago and found out that there are files > in /dev and /tmp or /var/tmp that have an enormous dimension. i have left > them behind and then got an unusable system for some reason. the copy i had > was from a livecd with the cp -p to preserve ownership and permission. > for what i know from /dev i have only to get /dev/null and /dev/console and > let all others devices be created by udev. from /tmp instead i should not > copy anything and from /var/tmp i should copy only the ccache. are my > suppositions correct? Of course, copying /dev/zero is not a good idea on a running system. You will wait forever for this task to finish (/dev/zero, remember there comes data out of it, endlessly). You don't have to copy anything of /dev. udev will provide you the solution to create a new /dev directory after boot. LG Bernhard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
