I already took backup of /dev/vg_mohanlaptop/lv_root. My question is, If > I restore the contents of /boot and lv_root from current failing > harddrive to new harddrive (ofcourse creating same partitions with > enough space) and restoring grub in the new harddrive, will it work? > will I get the same OS which is running on my failing harddrive? >
I had done this earlier by moving the complete filesystem (from a failing drive) to a new disk and adjusted the partition values according to the new disk structure in grub and able to boot and work without any issues. > -- > S.
