I work for a government organization here in India. I am sort of new to CentOS & Linux. We have a 1TB disk in one of our machines that needs to be moved to a new server. How can I do that without losing any of the data? The whole drive is mounted onto a single file system (/software). I would like to move the drive onto our new server. Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20080316/6d3f1e73/attachment-0002.html>

OP didn't say much. If so, export the volume first, then import it on the target machine.> <snip>-- Bill
