"rsync -avx --delete / /new_dasd" might also be a good way to copy things. This copy stops at mount point boundaries. > > So what else do I need to do to make this work? To copy a root partition you might have to edit /etc/fstab and /etc/zipl.conf in the new system. I suspect you are not using an initrd to boot, that could also need to be modified. greetings, Florian La Roche > > Thanks in advance > > Craig Baker > > > ********************************************************************** > This e-mail message (along with any attachments) is intended only for > the named addressee and may contain information that is confidential > or privileged.
