Hi All I am trying to make mirror copy of hard drive, The RedHat 4.0 is installed on IDE hard drive. the partitions are /dev/hda1 mounted as boot, /dev/hda2 mounted as /, /dev/hda3 mounted ad swap lsmod command was not showing ata_piix loaded, so I compiled the kernel for SATA support then I ran the lsmod command and found that lsmod is showing ata_piix loaded the output of lsmod ata_piix 17609 6 libata 96857 ata_piix also I added alias in modprobe.conf file alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix For mirroring I took SATA drive and created exact partition as IDE, and then copy the / data except /boot, /proc directories through rsync rsync -av / --exclude=/boot --exclude=/proc --exclude=/mnt /mnt/sata then I transferd the Image of boot partition on /dev/sda1 through dd command. and followed the following steps 1) changed the FSTAB file, removed /dev/hda1 and replaced /dev/sda1 2) edited grub.conf and changed root=/dev/sda3 3) reinstalled grub on /dev/sda and tried to boot the machine from SATA hard drive, I get error when RedHat is Loading mount error 6 and mount error 22 kernel is not syncing Could some one please help how to I transfer Image from IDE to SATA Regards Sanjay How do I move a linux installed from a IDE hard drive to a SATA one I have tried it with ghost and it fails big time. Is there any way to prepare linux to move IDE to a sata drive I got error kernel not syncing mount error 22 and 06 The df -h shows /dev/hda1 mounted ad Regards Nilesh -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
