I'm looking for a way to upgrade my HD and maintain file/directory structure. I've got a 20GB with partitions for / /home /usr how can I copy/clone this drive over to it's 60B replacement? Thanks!Hi
just finished this operation last night .
setup :
boot from /dev/hda
/dev/hdb - 40GB (old disk)
/dev/hdc - 60GB (new disk )
# dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=2M
it did a perfect,bit by bit, clone . then, i used cfdisk to set up an additional 20Gb partition for the extra space.
works like a charm .
i always set bs (block size) close to the size of the HDD buffer (2048 in my case)
hope it helps.
