Rebuilding a failing drive

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

 



I have a 1TB drive that is getting I/O errors enough that while I was out of the country, it hung and my wife was NOT happy. So it is time to replace it. And with a 2TB file.

This is a server with the drive as EXT4, boot partitions, swap partition, and a few data (/boot, /, etc.) partitions.

Given that I am experiencing I/O errors, it would seem that a dd is not advisable. I can dd the boot portion onto a new drive, I can build the partitions on a new drive. I can boot the system with a live CD.

What is a good way to move the OS and all the data? I used Clonezilla some many years ago, but that does not seem to be the way to go when there are bad sections on the source drive?

Thank you
