I have fresh install CentOS 6 x64 running on my server. I have a raid 1 drive 3 tb ready to be mounted. I want to mount this as var folder, could achive this but after reboot, server didn't start, maybe i had problem with command cp -rf.
Is this possible to do in a proper manner, with what commands? I used rsync and diff game me like 10+ output.
If this is a fresh install, I gather selinux is enabled, so the above approach is likely to have issues: many files/dirs under /var have special selinux contexts.
I'd normaly use something like
rsync -aX /var/ /mnt/new_raid_array/
(the -X option preserves selinux contexts and note the trailing slashes)
Hope this helps.
