I have completed the LFS 6.0 book. System boots like a champ. I have started
putting together things from BLFS. Still working smoothly. Before I go too
much farther, I would like to know:
Can my current LFS be copied to another hard drive for future build
considerations. I am only talking about the base LFS (no other packages
installed). Currently, my LFS is on /dev/hda4. I would like to copy it
to /dev/sda1 because I have a SCSI drive sitting there doing nothing. My
host disto is on /dev/hda1 with /home on /dev/hda3. The swap partition for
LFS and host is /dev/hda2.
What I am hoping to do is copy (not move) the root LFS to /dev/sda1,
use /dev/sda2 for swap and /dev/sda3 for /home. I know I should have set my
drive up with /dev/hda4, /dev/hda5, /dev/hda6 but I didn't realize the value
of that when I started LFS.
Anyway, can it be copied?
I find tar to be quite effective
cd /mnt
tar cjf lfs.tar.bz2 lfs
then unmount the partition that has lfs on it, edit /etc/fstab to mount the
blank partition in it's place and then untar lfs onto the new blank partition
cd /mnt
tar xjf lfs.tar.bz2
