As long as you have no links or using any resources on sda you can remove it. As well as editing grub.conf & fstab, you will need to install grub in the MBR of what will now become sda (was sdb). Boot off the installl cd, select rescue, let it mount your existing filesystems (as /mnt/sysimage). Now run grub-install on sda (old sdb): chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/sda That should be it. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
