Would it be possible to perform these tasks in multiuser mode, i.e. via ssh ? As I have no console to this server. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry McAllister [mailto:jerrymc@clunix.cl.msu.edu] Sent: 05 November 2002 19:44 To: neil@mpfreescene.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Kernal Panics > > Hi, ive been getting kernel panics, number 12's for some time, ive had > the whole load of hardware changed, the only thing that is the same now > is the hard disk drive. > > We thought this had cured the problem, but I had one the other day. > Okay, I thought this was a one off, but I just had another, only this > time it is different.

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
