yeah, I tried using rsync to do a local move of 100GB of backuppc pool. on a 512MB machine, with perhaps 2GB of swap, it crushed the box to the point I had to power-cycle it to get control back. dd bypasses those memory problems. if you want to move it across the network, pipe it through netcat. I moved 200GB of backuppc pool across the network that way in about 12 hours. once on the new box, I just used the reiserfs resize utility to make the filesystem large enough to take advantage of all the space. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
