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 bootloader is on).
Will this proceedure work ok to replace it with the minimum of
downtime/reinstalling
A> Make bootable floppy
B> Start in single user mode
C> Create same partition structure on hew drive
D> Move all files from old partitions to new partitions
E> Switch drives
F> Boot off floppy, mount, reinstall grub and boot manager on new drive
G> Profit!
Any hangups or snags doing it this way?
Thanks,
Doug Eubanks
