Hi Everyone,
Another not-quite-Rivendell related question here, but I know there
are some brilliant minds around here...
I have a Rivendell stand-alone based on the appliance v2. I have a LOT
of work invested in this, and I would like to clone the hard drive(s).
The problem is during installation, I set up the appliance on a software
Raid 1 array.
I have googled, but have read mixed results on "cloning" Linux MD Raid.
In my mind, it can't be that hard, but some suggest it can't be done
with the tools I have.
The tools I have available to me are:
Ghost 2003 (Dos boot floppy)
Acronis True Image WD Edition
Knoppix
In my mind, if I do a "sector" copy, and copy one drive at a time, it
shouldn't matter if the cloning software can read the filesystem or not...
Am I off base here?
Thanks for any tips,
-Alan
PS I seem to think maybe dd (under Knoppix?) is the way to go, but
since I will be cloning to an identical drive, how can I be sure which
one is which? Having never used dd I don't want to destroy my work!
