There is an article on BSD Cheat Sheets that should help. The article is called "Moving to a larger hard drive". The link is http://mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/. Good luck, Ron Clark -----Original Message----- From: Raoul Schroeder To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: 12/10/01 11:26 AM Subject: Migrating FreeBSD to a bigger harddrive... I am sorry if this is a freq. asked one, but I did not see it in any FAQ Basically, I would like to move a FreeBSD installation to a newer, bigger harddrive. Here's what I think I need to do: * Partition the new harddisk reasonably. * Mount the new partitions. * Copy everything over to the respective partitions - here's my first question: Which command do I preferably use for that to get everything over. * Somehow get the new harddisk to boot (replacing the boot order in the SCSI controller) * Somehow tell FreeBSD the mounting points Can someone please pinpoint me in the right direction? Thanks.
