I'd probably add the new disks to the machine and use dump/restore to copy the data over from the old ones. Then shutdown, switch disks and boot using the new disks to see if all works fine as it used to. Reinstalling is probably going to take a while and you might forget to apply again some old local hack. Giorgos
