I am planning to replace the small HDD where my / partition and swap partition are located (along with a Win95 FAT-16 partition for Win swap and misc stuff) with a bigger HDD. Here is how I plan to do it. Does anyone see any (hidden) danger here? 1. Tar the / filesystem to my /opt partition on a 2nd HDD. "Mount" shows 49041 blocks used for / and 79838 blocks available on /opt. I will exclude /proc from the tar file. I do not have access to a tape unit. 2. Remove old HDD, install new HDD, set up Linux ext2 partition and Linux swap partition with Linux fdisk. 3. Using boot/rescue disks, untar to the new / partition. Modify fstab to reflect the new partition /dev names where necessary. Add a /proc directory under / with mkdir. 4. Boot Linux with loadlin as usual. Where can I go wrong?
