You'll still have to bring it down and copy the /boot minidisk by hand, then bring the image back up, but it will decrease your downtime dramatically, if the image is large.
I've never seen anything in /boot that's needed between IPLs. It's perfectly possible to umount the old, copy it, mount the new and keep right on running. If you feel the need to be absolutely completely sure, IPL the new volume as soon as convenient. That's all the downtime you need to switch /boot, and if /boot is a ro shared with other systems, you only need to test it once. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
