Hi, Thomas --- I think something along the following lines should work: 0. Install new disk, ensuring it has the same device name as the old one. 1. Partition / slice new disk in the same way as the old one, or to taste. 2. 'gvinum saveconfig' should write the gvinum configuration to the new disk. 3. 'gvinum start' or 'gvinum rebuildparity' as needed to rebuild the disk. With that said, I haven't tried this, and I don't have any equipment immediately at hand with which to test this, but it seems plausible. Cheers, Chris
