Hi all, I have an 80 gig xfs formatted drive that I use for data storage. The drive is almost full so I have ordered a new 200 gig drive to replace it. Now I need to figure out how to mirror the contents of the old drive onto the new one. I had thought about mirroring the drives using `dd` but I don't think that's the right way to go since the drives are not the same size. From reading the xfsdump man page it looks like the following should take care of my needs:
# xfsdump -J - /old | xfsrestore -J - /new
Are there any other arguments that I should add to xfsdump or xfsrestore such as blocksize? Are there any caveats to doing this considering the amount of data to be transfered or to be aware of when using this method? Am I going in the complete wrong direction and should instead be using something else? All help is greatly appreciated. If you can't tell, I'm super paranoid about screwing this up. Thanks!
Tom
