My original FBSD disk is running out of space. I got a larger disk and partitioned it for FBS, created larger filesystems with the same mount points using the minimal instalation. Now I want to use cpio to copy the filesystems from the old disk to the new one. I think this is what I need to do, please correct me if I'm wrong. From / in the old disk do find . -depth -print > /usr/tmp/fs.cp Connect the new disk as primary on the secondary IDE controller mount /dev/wd1s1a /mnt mount /dev/wd1s1e /mnt/var mount /dev/wd1s1f /mnt/usr cpio -pdumvt /mnt </tmp/fs.cp This should unconditionaly overwrite the files in the minimal instalation and copy in all the stuff from the old disk. I am assuming all links will be copied/created on the new disk as links.
