Hello, I have a quick question regarding moving freebsd from one server to another. I have read and am exploring several methods for efficiently migrating one freebsd server to newer hardware. Without getting into too many details, it is preferable to migrate each partition/slice in their entirety. I have read methods where utilizing dump/restore in single user mode seems to be the way to go, however I would like to know if anyone has any recommendations or has a tried & true method (dd over ssh?) for accomplishing this kind of a task that may save me any headaches, since the servers in question are production systems. Both systems will be 7.1-PRERELEASE. And I am unable to physically mount the new server's disk in the old server, unfortunately. Any help / suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin
