hi, have a very interesting question about updating from seawolf to 8.0 : have a relativly big system with about 8 HD's - 3 IDE's and 5 SCSI's. If I do an update now, I have some filesystems like /home or /internet, where I have a lot of files for using it within my local network. So that seawolf-box acts as a fileserver too. the filesystems on /internet, /var/lib/mysql and /home are for shure ext2. If I plan to do an update now, and make a backup on another box, within my local network, can I copy back all the "backups" on this new ext3 without any problems ?
Or would it be possible to make a new ext3 filesystem later ? for example : my /internet is an own SCSI-harddisk of about 20 Gigs. Now I can do a backup of /home and /var/lib/mysql on this /inernet and does NOT create a new ext3-filesystem on this /internet-filesystem now. After finishing the update, can I do now an extra-job in creating that new filesystem on /internet, and after finishing the "ext3-create" on this /internet I copy back all files which should be there as I have it now ? My opinion now is (or my question now is) : make a backup I have to do it on "old ext2-filesystem" copy it back to the new created ext3-filesystem - can I run into trouble with ext2 and ext3 ? thanks for helps and hints bye hans _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
