The rsync works fine. I used it to copy /home /var and /etc to the new server. But something went wrong. I think I copied something in /etc I shouldn't have. The system won't mount the drive. I am currently re-installing CentOS.
Any idea of what I SHOULDN'T copy?
I would not copy /etc since it stores all setting files. Most likely it is /etc/fsatb file that is creating problems as your new system is looking for drives/partitions/lables that probably do not exists or are named differently on new system.
I would be selective in coprying /var too.
