Hi all,
im going crazy. I have one ATA disc with CentOS 5.2 and LVM, the LVM structure is:
--- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
Here comes the challende, i need to clone that ATA disc to a SATA disc. The thing is, i don't longer need the LVM structure because i need so make a softraid 1 later. My plan was:
1. Boot from a live cd and rsync all content to the sata disc. 2. Partition /boot (sda1), / (sda3), and swap (sda2) (sda1 bootable) 2. Make a new initrd image without LVM 3. Install grub on /dev/sda1 3. Boot as test 4. Make a softraid 1 with the second SATA drive.
The only problem now is, i cannot boot from the new SATA drive. I run into a kernel panic (Kernel not syncing). I try'd everything possible, in mtab of the sata was the LVM path, i changed it and also the grub menue the fstab and so on...
How can i get of that LVM and clone it to the new SATA drive?
Thanks for advice and best greetings
Wolfgang
