Migrating to a new disk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
 I have an old 120GB hard disk, and a much newer, 320GB hard disk.

I'd like to migrate my linux (FC5) setup to this newer disk, and also want to enlarge the partitions.

This may seem naive but can I....

i) Boot up using the FC5 linux rescue mode
ii) Manually partition the new disk, using fdisk
iii) Use e2label and set the labels to be the same on the new disk partitions as the old, what is the command to tell me the current labels? iii) Mount both the old and new disks partitions into temporary directories I create iv) Do a 'cp -Rv /old-part/* /new-part/' command? Will that get ALL files, including hidden dot files? v) Edit the new copies, fstab and alter the mount points accordingly, that aren't using labels?

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thank You.
Hadders
