QtMoko - howto migrate from one partition to another?
Hi, My current setup fr QtMoko is like this: I have QtMoko v8 installed on p2 of the Sdcard (root=/dev/mmcblk0p2). And I have a backup partition on /dev/mmcblk0p3. Before I upgrade p2 to QtMoko v9, I wish to migrate everything from there to p3. Can I just use cp or tar while I am booted in QtMoko v8 to copy everything over? Or do I have to perform some more advanced magic? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Best way is to put the card in PC or boot from NAND to make copy. Or install QtMoko v9 to mmcblkp3, boot it and backup mmcblk0p2 from there.

Re: QtMoko - howto migrate from one partition to another?
Can I just use cp or tar while I am booted in QtMoko v8 to copy everything over? Yes. Some of the files may change while you copy them over, but as long as *you* don't actively modify important files during the copy, the files that change won't make a difference (they'll be things like syslog files). Or do I have to perform some more advanced magic? Just be careful to only backup the partition's own files. I.e. use the --one-file-system argument. Otherwise you might start copying /sys, /proc and that will get you into trouble.
