I'm willing to change my dedicated server hosting provider, and transfer my existing server to the new one.
I don't have kvm access, but both servers are centos5.2
I can boot a network image that is debian based and have access to the disk. Then I tried to rsync -a my first server to the destination host, but it was not reachable from the network (I modified /etc/fstab and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for the destination server). I also copied /boot including grub configuration... (both are using grub)
As I don't have a kvm, I don't know why it is not reachable from net.
So I would like to get the list of all rpms (rpm -qa) install them to the new server, then copy all files that were added/modifed
Most packages should be still in the yum cache, but I'm not sure.
For the rpm -qa I think there should be some special flags to get an output that would be yum compatible?
But my real question is: How can I get a list of files in the whole filesystem that were added or modified compared to all the files that come from rpms?
Is there a script for doing such a thing?
Thanks
