Thanks!
There was 2G of ram and the server is under no load as it is being
rebuilt so it never swaps. I had an old (very healthy) 20G drive. I just
unplugged the cables from the 100G, plugged them into the 20G (laying in
the bottom of the box for testing) and booted.
System came up fine. Partitioned the new drive into 17G of ext3 and 2G
of swap, deleted the old entries for the 100G from fstab and rebooted.
Worked without a hitch. Shutdown and actually mounted the 20G in the
case -- job done!
Thanks JDD!
