Transferring system from old hd to new raid1
Hi List, I have an Ultra5 dmz server. It was running an ata hd which I've removed (before it finally dies) and replaced with 2 brand new drives I've set up as a raid1 array. The old hd is 2.4.18 Debian Etch. The new raid1 is 2.6.17-10 Debian Etch. (Both are identical from the viewpoint of apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade) The partitioning on the old hd: hda1 /boot hda2 / hda3 whole drive hda4 /var hda5 /tmp hda6 /home hda7 swap hda8 /usr The partitioning of the 2 new drives (in situ): hda1 /boot hda2 raid hda3 whole drive hda4 swap hdb1 /boot2 (A spare boot partition. I read somwhere that it was a good idea) hdb2 raid hdb3 whole drive hdb4 swap md0 / Q. How do I transfer the daemons/servers from the old drive to the new raid1 array. (I've read numerous howtos and tried a number of times by setting the old drive up as hdc but all have failed and I'm getting nervous about how long the old drive will last. TIA John

Not sure if there are known issues for that specific model, but there are general issues. See: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-upgrade-to-2.6 Cheers, FJP pgpkPuAbrAELS.pgp Description: PGP signature
