(and sorry for my english). By far the best method is with dd, or dd_rescue (which adds errror recovery and progress information). The method I followed recently was dd from the old drive to the new array, followed by fdisk to delete the partition and re-create (with identical starting position) to take up the full disk, followed by a filesystem resize. This has worked quite well for me and certainly solves the issue of the hard links etc...

I did find a bug on the Gentoo bugzilla that seems to have solved the problem, so I opened a bugzilla incident on Centos 5 referencing the Gentoo bug.

[BackupPC-users] XP Client setup problem
I have set up XP clients before with great trouble. It was over a year ago. I added a new computer and copied a current clients config, changed the the client specific settings and I get errors. I changed the share to C$ and get the No files dumped for share C$ error message. I believe that it is a problem on the new client side since the other XP clients are backing up just fine. I have set up a user on the new client and added them to the "Backup Operators" group. I still have the same error. Any help would be appreciated. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

(and sorry for my english). It depends on the size of your pool. A lot of hardlinks can make cp -a take a very, very long time. In that case it is probably a lot faster to use dd to copy the filesystem over and grow the filesystem afterwards.

[BackupPC-users] Pool size graph missing legend in Centos 5 after latest rrdtool updates.
Under Centos5, the latest perl-rrdtool.i386 0:1.2.28-1.el5.rf and rrdtool.i386 0:1.2.28-1.el5.rf updates seem to have broken part of the Pool Size graph, specifically all the text is missing from within the graph. Other than the graph I see 2 dots where the 2 color squares used to be. Also since the update I see the following error in the httpd error log every time I refresh the BackupPC page ERROR: failed to load Today I removed the the last updates and re-installed the previous versions (rrdtool-1.2.27-3.el5.i386.rpm and rrdtool-perl-1.2.27-3.el5.i386.rpm) and the errors are gone and the graph displays properly again with all the text intact. Anyone else have this problem and or anyone have a fix?
