Well, you can remove old disks after rebooting. Of course this method requires restart of daemons and rebooting is recommended. (remember to turn off disk fsck to avoid longer downtime ..) I used this way to move data from disks to another. It might not be 100 procent safe, but it worked fine on my systems. see also: http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/hack-and-migrate-new-hard-drive -- Eero _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
