RE: update to 8.0

Fri, 18 Oct 2002 02:51:47 -0700

Hello Hans,
 
I can only tell you about ext3 concerning 7.1 to 7.3
 
I do backups of all my users and some of them have lots of data.
 
The backups were done on ext2 and saved on my kickstart ext2 ftp server. I made 7.3
kickstart disks with a post install that grabs the backup from the ext2 ftp server and
does a restore onto the new ext3 box. I saw no problems.
 
Keep in mind my boxes have only one ide hard drive and I do no sql stuff.
 
I suggest doing experimenting in a lab environment.

Subject: update to 8.0

hi,
have a very interesting question about updating  from seawolf to 8.0 :
have a relativly big system with about 8 HD's - 3 IDE's and 5 SCSI's. If
I do an update now, I have some filesystems like /home or /internet,
where I have a lot of files for using it within my local network. So
that seawolf-box acts as a fileserver too.
the filesystems on /internet, /var/lib/mysql and /home are for shure
ext2. If I plan to do an update now, and make a backup on another box,
within my local network, can I copy back all the "backups" on this new
ext3 without any problems ?
 
Or would it be possible to make a new ext3 filesystem later ? for
example :
my /internet is an own SCSI-harddisk of about 20 Gigs. Now I can do a
backup of /home and /var/lib/mysql on this /inernet and does NOT create
a new ext3-filesystem on this /internet-filesystem now. After finishing
the update, can I do now an extra-job in creating that new filesystem on
/internet, and after finishing the "ext3-create" on this /internet I
copy back all files which should be there as I have it now ?
 
My opinion now is (or my question now is) :
make a backup I have to do it on "old ext2-filesystem" copy it back to
the new created ext3-filesystem - can I run into trouble with ext2 and
ext3 ?
 
thanks for helps and hints
bye hans
