Hello Debians I want to move a whole debian install from one disk onto another. The second (new disk) is larger than the one debian is on right now:
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 131 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1 8001 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2 7 48195 82 Linux swap /dev/sda3 8 131 996030 83 Linux Disk /dev/hdb: 16 heads, 51 sectors, 1010 cylinders Units = cylinders of 816 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 48 19558+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 49 192 58752 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb3 193 1010 333744 83 Linux The SCSI disk is where I want to "move" debian. Is it correct that I can do that simply with the following: # dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/sda My questions are as follows: ---------------------------- Is that really all and is it possible? Will I then be able to create more partitions on the new disk for the space that is left? How much adjusting will need to be done for the "new" debian to boot up fine? (/etc/fstab and/or what?) Thanks a lot! Sven
