Hi, I have to move my whole system from one disk to another bigger one.
I think of doing as follows: Boot a system via CD/DVD (knoppix for example). Mount small disk read-only Mount bigger disk read-write cd into mountpoint of the first one cp -a . ../<mountpoint_of_bigger_disk> Seems to me slow but correct? Or? (I have to set the bootable flag of the correct partion additionally...) I dont want to have a booting system afterwards, which "runs" for -- say -- three month and suddenly hit a obscure bug due to my copy-commands, which only did it to 99.87% correct... ;) I would like to preserve as much as possible of the file/directoy times ,,, Or does a mystical command with s-tar a better job faster? Thank you very much in adance for any help! Best regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
