SELinux: just disable it before the operation, get your system working on the new drive and then think about reenabling it. /proc: there is nothing to rebuild, the files are all virtual. /dev: nothing special to rebuild, all automatic Your real issues are: - when you copy the data (better if using a rescue disk) to the new partitions you will have different partition name and maybe different filesystem UUID; this will affect /etc/fstab and grub.conf - grub has to be installed on the new drive and its config modified - the booting process is also dependent on your initrd in /boot Did you search for some detailed tutorial on how to do this? I guess this process has been described many times in the past. It is not a difficult operation: you just copy all the files and then repair the boot process. As always, the devil is in the details. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
