vr, it looks like you've already received plenty of suggestions, but I just thought I'd mention that I have developed a migration procedure that you may be able to adapt to your situation. I have a web page which I developed for how to use a high-performance disk driver under Debian for the s390 platform. As it turns out, the high performance driver doesn't work with the type of disks supported by the Debian installer; so that means installing to one type of disk and then migrating to another type of disk after the install. Perhaps the migration procedure documented therein can be adapted to your purposes. The low-level formatting and partitioning steps are quite different on this platform from PCs. But creating the file systems and copying the data are relatively platform independent. You'll have to discern what is platform specific and either disregard or adapt it. But anyway, here's the link, in case you find it useful. http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/diag250.htm -- .''`.
