You might be better off using dump(8) and restore(8) to copy and restore the disk partitions. Dump will preserve the information you need and then restore will allow it to use the new larget partition cleanly. Some of your other cloning software (I don't know about Clonezilla) including dd(1) will try to duplicate the space as it was on the old partitions and not use the new space. So dump the partitions redo the partitions restore in to the new partitions If you are changing root (/) and/or /boot you have to build a minimal bootable system on it/them. But, really root and /boot do not need to be very large if you put growing stuff in its own partitions such as /home, /usr, /var. ////jerry > > Thanks > > -- > Robert Arkiletian > Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
