Hi List, I have an Ultra5 dmz server. It was running an ata hd which I've removed (before it finally dies) and replaced with 2 brand new drives I've set up as a raid1 array.
The old hd is 2.4.18 Debian Etch. The new raid1 is 2.6.17-10 Debian Etch. (Both are identical from the viewpoint of apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade) The partitioning on the old hd: hda1 /boot hda2 / hda3 whole drive hda4 /var hda5 /tmp hda6 /home hda7 swap hda8 /usr The partitioning of the 2 new drives (in situ): hda1 /boot hda2 raid hda3 whole drive hda4 swap hdb1 /boot2 (A spare boot partition. I read somwhere that it was a good idea) hdb2 raid hdb3 whole drive hdb4 swap md0 / Q. How do I transfer the daemons/servers from the old drive to the new raid1 array. (I've read numerous howtos and tried a number of times by setting the old drive up as hdc but all have failed and I'm getting nervous about how long the old drive will last. TIA John
