Hi,

Yes, but.... In my example, I was making the old and new root disks
available to a second system.  In a follow-on note to mine, Mark Post gave
an example of doing it all on one system. I suggest that you look at  his
method first.

---------------------------- From Mark's Post

Taking the system out of service for such a long period of time can easily
be avoided by:
1. Adding the new disk to the existing system dynamically
2. Doing the same dasdmft, fdasd and mke2fs.
3. Following the HOWTO at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html from
steps 3 to 4, but doing the "cd" to /, instead of /usr.
4. chroot to /mnt
5. Update /etc/zipl.conf, but only if any device numbers will change.
6. Run zipl
7. exit the chroot environment
8. Unmount the new file system.
9. Reboot at the time of your choice.

This also eliminates the need to modify all the other parameters in
/etc/zipl.conf to remove the /mnt from the directory paths.
