Hi all... I need some advice.

One of my disks give me an 0x40 error (uncorrectable error), and I think
I need to replace that disk.

Does any of you know of a program to "mirror" the disk, filesystem and
all? I'm running redhat 9.0 if that matters, and I installed the
standard which I think is ext3 (right?)




Best thing you can do is make sure you have some disk space free (and minimise use of the dying disk). Then boot on a new disk and copy data off the old one using something like

mount /dev/hdb1 /olddisk
cp -r /olddisk /newdisk/backup

Then see how much of the data you can get back


It's the boot-disk (the only disk in my rh. box)
