Hello all,
I've got a dying drive on my hands.. and I know I found a doc/guide on
the handbook before regarding this..
something like..
# tar cf - --one-file-system -C /var . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt/var
where the new drive is fsck'd and mounted at /mnt ..
or something else..
where is that?
or how would I do that?
I just want to take this 20G drive and copy it to a 30G drive..
what would be the best way?
(and I need to talk to someone over the phone about this.. it's his
box and he has no inet)
this is what i used when i did it a month ago

it will be slightly different depending on your version, but
dump/restore is better than tar
