similar to: correct way to migrate old data on hda to new sda

Hi, This might sound like a n00b question, but I've honestly never done this with a Linux machine... (it is running Centos3) We have a 1U mail server with two 36GB SCSI drives in a hardware mirror config. There's no more room for any other drives in the case. It's filling up, so we now have two 74GB drives ready to take their place. Possible solutions that I've come up

First, I am not a RedHat or linux newbie. I simply have not had to do what I am getting ready to do, and I want to see if I am going to run into a problems... My HDA drive is failing (I can hear the occasional click from it and I am seeing Smart errors, the transfer rate is slow but all my data is there). I have 3 partitions on it, the /, /boot/ and my game servers (this is also the drive the

Hi I had some doubts regarding what all the init application should do: >> so, that should that application do? >> - mount /dev/hda1 /new-root >> - cd /new-root >> - run-init 1. Of what I understand, before exitting, init should mount the realroot and execute the init process. Is realroot the '/' or the empty directory created (in the cpio archive) ?

... though I tried, read and typed the last 4 hours; still no clue. Please, can anyone give a clear idea on how this works: Get the content of c0d1s1 to c0d0s7 ? c0d1s1 is pool home and active; c0d0s7 is not active. I have followed the suggestion on http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/demos/zfs_demo.pdf % sudo zfs snapshot home at backup % zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER

greetings, since i have a test server in front of me and i have never tried it i request your assistance please. ive always been a fdisk and lilo person i have a fresh CentOS 4 "test" install on a WD120 sata /dev/sda /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 /boot /dev/sda3 swap and it just so happens i have a old test 17Gig Maxtor PATA with a fresh Win98 on it from helping my father migrate to a newer

With the default settings in my Supermicro motherboard CentOS calls my SATA drive /dev/hda. If in bios setup I change 'Native Mode Operation' from auto to 'Serial ATA' it boots up calling the drive /dev/sda. I keep thinking its likely better under /dev/sda not? Any problem switching it to that after install? Matt

Hi, I am using Xen Center5.6 FP1 since last 8 months and it was working fine since last few weeks, when i observed that suddenly all new Xen VMs started showing me sda or hda disks as xvhd. This is observed when i try to create any new Xen VM on my XenCenter5.6FP1. All my earlier Xen VMs are still showing hda or sda but when i try to upgrade the respective VMs say from SLES11GA to SLES11 SP1, it

I think I have booting issues for my custom kernel on centos 4. the sda system cannot find the disk. I used a qemu image to build a centos 4 MATH_EMULATION kernel. This system has /dev/hda. The system I am putting the vmlinuz and initrd files on is a /dev/sda system. I dont think the initrd image is getting built correctly. Does this make sense? What might I look at changing to ensure my

I installed a 4.1 x86_64 with kernel 2.6.9-11.ELsmp (rpm) initially. My box is tyan 5350 and a SATA harddisk The install was successful and the harddisk was detected as /dev/sdaX But strangely, when I first reboot my machine. The harddisk change to /dev/hdaX What is the problem ? Below are some of dmesg output hda: WDC WD1200JD-00HBB0, ATA DISK drive Probing IDE interface ide1... Probing IDE

Hello All, (I'm only one step above a user, so would appreciate any technical answers thoroughly explained. But if you're in a real rush, I could just forward your reply to a local wizard for translation.) With the script below, I use rsync to mirror the /boot partition and the / (without /boot) partition on to removable ATA/IDE hard drives. (Insertion/removal of mirror drives are

Hey! I have big problem with my centos 5.1. I have two hard discs 500gig and 40gig and those are in RAID0. I would like to remowe the small 40gig hd and put new 500gig hd and i don't wan't raid0 anymore. How can i copy data from 40gig hd to 500gig hd and switch 40gig hd to new 500gig hd? Another question: Can i just copy all my files to windows laptop and if i wan't

Hi, I am recovering a CentOS 5.4 system. I've copied all partitions into the recovery system. I've installed grub boot loader. However, the original system is using /dev/sdb1 for root (/), while the recovery system is using LVM (/dev/vg0/lv1) for root (/). When recovery system boots, I got the panic error: * Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /sysroot * Mount: mounting

Dear Sirs, I've a question belonging to the run-init utility. I'm trying to boot a full linux system from ram. Therefore I provide a kernel and initrd from a tftp server. The full rootfs is provided through a nfs-server and is at time a cpio-archive. That archive shall be copied to the local client and mounted in a tmpfs partition. After that, I want replace the oldroot bei the root

Is there a formal, or preferred, method for importing a physical CentOS machine into a VMware instance? I know they make software to move Windows machines, but I couldn't find one to handle our CentOS servers. I have done something via scp/sftp in the past, which *seemed* to work, but if there's a better way I'm more than interested in hearing the process. Thanks! Scott

Hello, I was using a bunch of cpios in initramfs as a working system, and wondering why the unused files weren't being paged out to swap. So I reread ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt and now I know. So I wrote the attached utility. It creates a tmpfs, moves all files on the initramfs, moves / and executes the real init. It works, even with hardlinks, but it isn't the correct approach. Have
