Interesting.. I'm thinking of upgrading the primary disk on my server from a 6Gb disk - linux installation - to a 9Gb disk - linux installation.
Could I plug in the second disk, dd all the stuff from the 6gig disk to the 9 gig disk, pull out the 6gig disk, replace it with the 9gig disk and away I go? I use RH8 with grub.
