Hi, I'm trying to copy my CentOS install to a new drive.
- old drive is /dev/hda and had
hda1 : /boot
hda2 : swap
hda3 lvm
hda5 : lvm
hda4 : /usr/local
- new drive is /dev/hdb
hdb1 : /boot
hdb2 : swap
hdb3 : /
I decided to get rid of lvm which is useless to me. I've created and
formated the new partitions and copied anything from the old drive to
the new one excepted the /dev entries by issuing some cp -a
With grub I did root (hd1,0) then setup (hd1)
I've also modified the content of hdb1 /boot/grub/grub.conf and passed
param root=/dev/hdb3 to the kernel
I didn't find how to created all the /dev entries but I read somewhere
that 2.6 kernels create them at boot time.
So, what is the problem ? (I boot my server by selecting the new drive
from the BIOS boot devices menu) :
boot goes until 'checking root filesystem', then complains about
something really wrong on /dev/hdb3 and send me to a kind of rescue shell.
I did a fsck on /dev/hdb3 which says the volume is clean
Don't know what I've missed and what I have to fix...
just in case, cat /proc/mounts gives me
rootfs / rootfs rw 0,0
/proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
/proc /proc proc rw,nodirattime 0 0
/proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
/sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
Thanks and merry Christmas to all !
