Hi, I'm trying to copy my CentOS install to a new drive. - old drive is /dev/hda and had hda1 : /boot hda2 : swap hda3 lvm hda5 : lvm hda4 : /usr/local - new drive is /dev/hdb hdb1 : /boot hdb2 : swap hdb3 : / I decided to get rid of lvm which is useless to me. I've created and formated the new partitions and copied anything from the old drive to the new one excepted the /dev entries by issuing some cp -a With grub I did root (hd1,0) then setup (hd1) I've also modified the content of hdb1 /boot/grub/grub.conf and passed param root=/dev/hdb3 to the kernel I didn't find how to created all the /dev entries but I read somewhere that 2.6 kernels create them at boot time. So, what is the problem ? (I boot my server by selecting the new drive from the BIOS boot devices menu) : boot goes until 'checking root filesystem', then complains about something really wrong on /dev/hdb3 and send me to a kind of rescue shell. I did a fsck on /dev/hdb3 which says the volume is clean Don't know what I've missed and what I have to fix... just in case, cat /proc/mounts gives me rootfs / rootfs rw 0,0 /proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,nodirattime 0 0 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 Thanks and merry Christmas to all ! ___________________________________________________________________________ Découvrez une nouvelle façon d'obtenir des réponses à toutes vos questions !
