Hard Disk upgrades
Out of curiousity, what do you do when you upgrade the HDD in your Linux box? Do you do a fresh OS install and just tar up /home? Or do you leave the old HDD in place and just create a new mountpoint for the new drive? Do you use a utility like Ghost to move the filesystems to a new drive?
This is out of curiousity. I've always done it by formatting the new disk, partitioning it, then using cp -ax to move everything over while at runlevel 1. I was talking to one of the other guys I work with about this, and he insisted there must be an easier way (well, I'm sure there is.. you can always just use dd - but that has pains of it's own..).
List away. I'll add the answers to the memories for
linuxsupport.
