Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my 2.0.5 system to 2.1, but don't want to have it off line for very long. I have a second disk the same as the one 2.0.5 is on, so perhaps I can just copy the whole disk to it? If I put the disk into the 2.0.5 system and make sure it's configured for wd1 can I then type something like "cp /dev/rwd0 /dev/rwd1" to duplicate the disk? I could then upgrade one disk offline, then install it in the working host to test, and have a good backup. Will this work?
