The easiest thing to do is bring the guest down and LINK these 2 disks from another running Linux .. mount them as /mnt /mnt/disk1 and 2 and copy - I would use rsync:
rsync -av /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disk2 Unmount, detach - and swap the disks in the directory so the big disk is the same address as the old small one. If you don't have another running Linux you can do something similar by booting the install kernel from the reader and getting into the recovery shell.. I don't think the rsync command is there, so you'd have to use the 'cp' command or a tar pipe. Scott Rohling On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 12:41 PM, Ben Duncan <b...@linux4ms.net> wrote: > Hi group.
