Let's say that we have a hard drive which looks like it's getting ready to fail. Being proactive, we'd like to replace the hard drive before it actually becomes unusable. :) In the past, I've added extra hard drives to FreeBSD 2.2.8, 3.2, and 3.4 systems without any trouble. I've moved the content from one partition to another (IE., from /usr on drive 0 to the new /usr partition on drive 1). That much isn't a problem. The heart of my question is this: After I put in the second hard drive and move all the content over, how do I get the necessary boot sector programs in place where they should be? As the first (failing) hard drive needs to come out, the second must boot as the first did. Suggestions? Thanks! --------------------------------------------------- Mark Rekai - INetU, Inc.(tm) - http://www.INetU.net Electronic commerce - Web development - Web hosting Mark@INetU.net - Phone: (610) 266-7441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message --openmail-part-268fbabe-00000001-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
