ok, well my error count went to 31 sectors on /dev/sda the other day.. I've been rcping /home over to a partition on sdb, so this morning, before I opened email, I edited /etc/fstab, commented out /home, moved my partition on /dev/sdb to /home and.... rebooted. SO, I didn't get that error I have been getting where it always drops me to that enter password or Control-D to continue, it just flat booted:) so now I have an /dev/sda with .. nothing mounted . /dev/sda3 is my windows 7 partition, sda2 I think is the Dell recovery partition, I forget what sda1 is.. Yesterday I did a clonezilla disk copy of /sda to a spare partition on sdb. It errored on my /dev/sda5 /home but copied the other partitions. I also have a nice new 2TB drive sitting here in a box. If I just replace the old 1TB drive with the new 2TB drive and do a clonezilla restore, will I be able to boot to grub menu? does it copy the MBR? suggestions/comments?? am I missing something?? running fedora 20 AMD_64, now sda 1TB, sdb 2TB. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
