Assuming that the old disk is /dev/hda and the new disk is /dev/hdb the following command should work: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb I've heard people recommend this before, but I'm not sure why this is better than cp -a ? I do remember that the last time I tried to copy a whole directory to a new partition I had some problems before I got it right, so I want to be clear before I start. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html suggests to use cp -a I used that howto many times (either to recover from disk failure or to prepare a copy of the current distribution to a different partition before an upgrade) and I found it very useful. Bye I recently upgrade from hdb being a dvd reader and hdc a 5 gig, and hdd a cdwriter, to a dvd writer at hdd and a 120 gig at hdc, in MDk 9.1. I plugged in the drive to the case, and I started the computer, fired up MCC, went to diskdrake and told it the change, and that I wanted to make a 45 gig /var/www. it asked if I wanted what was now in my /var/www copied over (of course I did, and it did fine), and I now have a separate /var/www from /var. have you just tried to see if you can just do it with out thinking about it and using the gui? I never thought of the gui, et. I used cp -a when I needed to move /var to a new partition. Life is extremely complicated here atm, so I'm hoping it will last out a few more days as there is no chance of getting/installing a new drive before that. And I haven't even tested the fan theory yet. I'll let you know what happens. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Mirroring contents of old drive onto new drive
Have a look at http://www.mondorescue.org/ Dj Tom McLaughlin wrote: Hi all, I have an 80 gig xfs formatted drive that I use for data storage. The drive is almost full so I have ordered a new 200 gig drive to replace it. Now I need to figure out how to mirror the contents of the old drive onto the new one. I had thought about mirroring the drives using `dd` but I don't think that's the right way to go since the drives are not the same size. From reading the xfsdump man page it looks like the following should take care of my needs: # xfsdump -J - /old | xfsrestore -J - /new Are there any other arguments that I should add to xfsdump or xfsrestore such as blocksize? Are there any caveats to doing this considering the amount of data to be transfered or to be aware of when using this method? Am I going in the complete wrong direction and should instead be using something else? All help is greatly appreciated. If you can't tell, I'm super paranoid about screwing this up. Thanks!

[expert] SeekComplete error
Hello
When doing make config in kernel 2.2.9 there was an option in Block Devices
(use multi-mode by default) that when set to Y fixed the error message:
hdb:hdb: set_multimode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb: set_multimode: error=0x04 {DriveStatusError }
The option isnt in Block Devices for kernels 2.2.13-7 or -9.. Where did it go
or what else fixes the error?
thanks DJ
Re: [expert] ftp/html
I have posted it to both lists and also to some others i am on. I dont really care where the correct answer comes from:) The file link is on the same box as the web page. The server answers ftp and www on the same ip.

[expert] ftp/html
Hello I am running apache 1.1.3, on one of our web pages there is a file for ftp. Users in our network can click on the link and get the file, but whenever a user from the outside world tries it just times out? The file can however be ftp'd via anonymous ftp, from both our own network and the outside. I'm guessing that the ftp is working alright but there is something in the apache setup to fix this, i have looked at the docs but it didnt jump out at me? What am i missing? This is runing on a BSDI box that i really dont want to have to upgrade right now:) Thanks DJ

Re: [expert] Multilink / EQL ?
I am in the process(waiting on card shipment) of setting up 6 or 8 modems from a remote site on our wan to do almost the same thing.
