this is what i did on FreeBSD 4.6 and 7 # to dump the entire hard drive onto another one setup the partitions and slices on your new hard drive. i did it this way, but command line works too. * do /stand/sysinstall * post configuration - fdisk - setup the partition * post configuration - label - setup the root and swap slices # then do this for each slice you want to back up [root@quack ~]#mount /dev/<slice> /mountPoint [root@quack ~]#cd /mountPoint [root@quack /mountPoint]#dump 0f - /oldSlice | restore -rf - uh, you might want to do this in single user mode then swap the new hard drive in place of the old one or change your fstab and boot up on it. mario;> --------------------- Do You Schmut!? http://www.schmut.com > > Is there anything out there that resembles Symantec Ghost but works with > FreeBSD partitions? > > Basically I want to be able to transfer a FreeBSD installation from an > old hard drive to a new one without having to reinstall, reconfigure, > etc. > > Thanks > > -Adrian > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
