First, I am not a RedHat or linux newbie. I simply have not had to do what I am getting ready to do, and I want to see if I am going to run into a problems... My HDA drive is failing (I can hear the occasional click from it and I am seeing Smart errors, the transfer rate is slow but all my data is there). I have 3 partitions on it, the /, /boot/ and my game servers (this is also the drive the bootloader is on). Will this proceedure work ok to replace it with the minimum of downtime/reinstalling A> Make bootable floppy B> Start in single user mode C> Create same partition structure on hew drive D> Move all files from old partitions to new partitions E> Switch drives F> Boot off floppy, mount, reinstall grub and boot manager on new drive G> Profit! Any hangups or snags doing it this way? Thanks, Doug Eubanks doug at simflex.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
