We have a machine with a vinum mirror, all the partitions except
the root partition mirrored between two disks. The second
disk has died and I want to replace it. I can't find a disk exactly
the same, so I have a disk that's bigger (80GB, old one was 60GB).
Can I...
- shutdown, replace the bad disk with the bigger new disk
- boot single user, mount /
- copy the good disk to the new disk with:
dd bs=128k if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad2
- vinum start
- restart any stale subdisks (?)
- ...
?
Thanks.
- Rob
