Hi,
you can use dump - restore as well. And it doesn't require tape or any
another drive.
On Solaris I use (from man ufsrestore)
example# ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 | (cd /home;ufsrestore xf -)
so you can do something like
root# dump {level 0} - /dev/{hdxx|sdxx} | (cd /mount_point; restore
{options} -)
but in case if the size of partitions should stay unchanged you can
restore to
/dev/{newhdxx/newsdxx} and later you can create additional partitions
which
will take available space.
read man dump restore and almost sure you will find example there.

xfs and xfstt do the same thing. You do not need both. Additionally xfs
is probably also being started in /etc/rc.d/init.d. So you are trying to
start 3 separate font servers. Can't say for sure this is your problem,
but it certainly is not necessary.

You have commented out *all* changes to rc.local??? Then possibly
something wrong with the new fonts. Remove that directory(s) temporarily
from the FontPath and see if that helps. If not, start with 'linux 3'
and then 'startx'. You should see the error message on screen. Probably
some clues there.

I hope you don't mind if I crash this party but I have been trying to get
the same question answered.
I hope you don't mind if I drill you a little because my understanding is
still a little fuzzy.

I am sorry but I don't quite understand what you mean by "the raw disk".
What is that the source disk or the destination?
Also, do you mean "the data" as being everything under /home? Then full
copy is simply everything, right? What is the difference between "the data"
and "full copy". Again I'm sorry, I am having a little difficulty with your
lingo.
It looks like with the "dd" command you should be able to copy one entire
partition to another, no? What is the purpose of booting from the floppy?
Why can't you do this while running on the source disk?

In this example you are only coping the boot and home directory structures,
right? How does Linux start up on the destination drive with only those
directories. Doesn't Linux need /etc, and/or, /usr, and/or, whatever else
to start up successfully?
The reason for these questions is because I have tried something similar to
this. I mount the destination partitions onto the source such as:
mount dev/hda5 /backup
mount dev/hda6 /backup/usr
The source drive has one partition and the destination drive has two
partitions (both not including swap)
Then I "cp -axf /bin /boot /dev /etc /lib /root /sbin /backup" and then the
rest I copy to /backup/usr.
This is simply not working. The destination drive boots but the startup is
screwed up and the filesystem is screwed up, Xwindows is screwed up, ...
etc.
How much different is the method you just described from the one I am
using? I am not in Linux right now because of another problem so I can't
see what cpio is and what those switches mean but it looks like it would
actually put the data from /boot and /home into the proper place onto the
destination drive with respect to /.
Thanks for addressing all this.

I think I know what you mean and that is what is so messed with the method I
have been trying. The partitions/directories on the destination drive are
totally screwed up with respect to /.

I don't know whether NT's Disk Administrator can delete
Linux partitions, but if it can, use it from Windows to
delete the Linux partitions. Otherwise, boot your Linux
distribution CD, run disk druid or fdisk, and delete the
Linux partitions, then reboot and load Windows.
If you're using W2K's boot loader to load LILO, edit
C:\BOOT.INI to remove the entry for Linux.
Once back in W2K, use Disk Administrator to repartition the
freed-up disk space into new VFAT or NTFS partitions.
You'll need to format these new partitions to make them
usable drives in W2K, but Disk Administrator should guide
you through that.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
I don't know if people know about this (I just stumbled on it myself a
few weeks ago). VA-Linux makes their enhanced version of RedHat avalable
(in iso format) on their web site. It's stock Red Hat 6.2, with VA's
kernel patches for NFS, and a bunch of other nice stuff.
The NFS performance is awsome (on par with our Solaris 7 server). And
some of the other default packages are quite handy.
You can get it at http://www.valinux.com/software/vaload/6.2/.
I do have a related question though. If this is just based on Red Hat,
could I take a stock Red Hat 6.1 system, pop in the VA 6.2 disk and do
an upgrade to get all the extra packages and the enhanced kernel? Or
would doing this confuse things.
Thanks.

I would have expected most of those to be owned by group daemon. You
might also take a look at what's in "filter" and ".config".
But before you do anything else, you really ought to try printing using
smbclient directly just to make sure you have the right workgroup, user
name, etc, and that the printer is willing to allow you to print. All you
need to do is connect to the printer service you want to use and send it a
text file. If that makes something come out of the printer, then check
the stuff above.

Hi,
What are the pros and cons between the apache, aol and wn web

I've used the apache and cern. But not the aol and wn.
All three are open source. Wouldn't the AOLServer be faster and
uses less resources because it's threaded instead of
forking/pre-forking?
Comments?

You need to have the SCSI disk driver (sd) as well as the adapter driver
compiled directly into the kernel, not as a module. You might check to make
sure the SCSI disk driver is indeed compiled into the kernel.

0. Install some variant of Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD.
Instructions on doing this can be found on
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO.html for Linux, or on the
freebsd.org, netbsd.org, or openbsd.org web pages for the BSDs. Almost
every Linux variant has the option to install Apache at install time, or
you can install it yourself later if you forget to install it then.
1. http://www.apache.org/docs for configuring your Apache install. Again,
Linux distros include instructions for doing this in /usr/doc/apache/ as
well. SuSE in particular *makes* you install Apache at install time--this
can be a curse or a blessing, depending on your preferences.
2. Make sure your network setup is all right. This is a large topic in
itself; read the NET3 HOWTO at http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO for instructions
in Linux. Also read the distribution's paper manual and pay attention to
what it says. HTH,

try the below script file. It will generate a new file every time it is
run, with a numbered file name so you can keep logs.
setup/use rsh for this. run it in it's own dir with a "." file
name(~/du/.du-check).
