-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All,
I'm having a laptop with 30GB HDD. Below is the partition structure on my HDD. /dev/hda8 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda5 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda7 /usr/local ext3 defaults 0 2 Since I'm cursed with a small hard drive my wish is to switch to LVM. With that I'll be flexible to increase and decrease my partitions as per my requirement. I have a 160 GB USB HDD. What are the recommendations for doing something like replicating or imaging the present data of the whole hard drive to the USB HDD (excluding /boot), create the new partition structure on the HDD using LVM, and restore things back. dpkg get/set selections were in my mind. But I've done a lot of configurations on my machine to my taste which I don't want to repeat again. Is it doable what I'm thinking (mentioned above). I'm a little nervous because its the / partition. Any suggestions ? Regards, rrs - -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT -- http://www.researchut.com Gnupg Key ID: 04F130BC "Stealing logic from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is research."
