Quite some time ago, I asked here how to install glibc 2.1 on RHL without breaking everything. At the time, I postponed it because I didn't have enough disk space in the right places to do it. Since then I've rearranged things and it became feasible. Old arrangement: [root@emu /root]# sfdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 16368 cylinders Units = cylinders of 516096 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 0+ 32 33- 16600+ 83 Linux native /dev/hda2 33 8159 8127 4096008 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 8160 16367 8208 4136832 83 Linux native /dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty [root@emu /root]# /dev/hda1 contains kernels and such; it mounts under /boot /dev/hda2 is my / partitioon. /dev/hdb is a 4.3 Gbyte HDD. I partitioned it and here is the new arrangement; [root@emu /root]# sfdisk -l /dev/hdb Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 0+ 2 3- 24066 83 Linux native /dev/hdb2 3 524 522 4192965 83 Linux native /dev/hdb3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hdb4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty [root@emu /root]# I used this procedure to copy hda2 to hdb2: [root@emu /root]# cat bin/bu.rootfs #!/bin/bash umount t mount /dev/hdb2 t || exit $? tar -clp -C / . | tar -xp -C t/ ed t/etc/fstab <<. %s=/hda2=/hdb2=g %s=/hda1=/hdb1=g g/^\/dev/p wq _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
