Okay here's my deal: Ultimate goal: Change POP Server over to IMAP. Currently: 2GB IDE drive running RH6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15) Want: Replace drive with 18GB scsi First things first. I have a Seagate 18GB drive and a Symbios logic 53c825 SCSI adapter. The drivers for this do not come with kernel 2.2.5-15, so i found some source drivers (sym53c8xx.c and sym53c8xx.h) and i want to recompile them for my kernel. I found a help file on recompiling a tulip driver for a nic. Here is that line: gcc -DMODULE -D_KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f/usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS` Now i really don't understand what it does, nor do i really care as long as it works. I was thinking that i could replace the "/usr/src/linux/net/inet" with /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi" and the "tulip.c" with "sym53c8xx.c". The only part I'm not sure of is do I replace the "/usr/include/linux/modversions.h" with "sym53c8xx.h" or what? Can anyone explain this line to me or, even better, hook me up with a line that will compile the module correctly? After i accomplish this task i intend to install the module on my test machine (running same setup as actual POP server). Once i know the driver and drive work i want to move the POP server's hard drive to this new 18GB Seagate. I own a copy of Norton Ghost 2000 Personal and Professional edition, and my guess at the easiest way to do this would be to ghost the smaller drive to the bigger one (seems simple enough), but before i do, has anyone else tried this and does it work? My problem here is that i can't take this POP/SMTP server down for very long because, even though there's only about 35 users, there's a lot of mail coming through there. So should i maybe set my test machine up to "pretend" it's that server (same name and IP) or has anyone found that changing a hard drive can be done in, say under a minute? Finally, once i have the new drive in place working and all, i then need to change the POP server over to IMAP. I guess i would just start the IMAP service and stop the POP service and maybe run a script to convert old messages or something. Has anyone done this or can anyone walk me through it?
