If the other drive will be big enough and if it will be running on a machine with the same major version of the OS, use dump(8)/restore(8). USe fdisk(8)/disklabel(8)/newfs(8) to put the appropriate file systems on the new disk then dump the old one and restore to the new one. Something like: (Assuming the old file system is mounted as /oldfs and the new is mounted as /dupfs) cd /dupfs dump 0vf - /oldfs | restore rf - repeat for however many file systems you need to save and have room for. Of course, if it won't read the old disk, then the problem is more difficult. ////jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
