running out of space on RH8 system

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

 



I have a system that is built on two small hards drives using logical
volume manager. I'm now running out of space and need to move it to a
new drive. I don't really want to install new, move over the data, and
reset all the rights like I did when I upgraded from 7.3 to 8.0. It
worked well, but took a while. 

Will this work? 
-Take the new drive and stick it in another system, build RH8.0.
-Stick it in the current system as another drive and mount the
filesystem.
-Copy everything from the old drive(s) to this new drive.
-Put the new drive in as the master and bring up the system on the new
drive, hopefully exactly the way it was, but with more space.

If it will work, how would I copy the whole thing to the new drive
including permissions?

If not, are there other suggestions? I've looked a little at dump and
another utility called partimage, but I've never used them before so I'm
not sure if I should try it now. 

Thanks,
James
