Hello,
I need to copy the entire contents of /dev/hda4 which is mounted as
/home to a second disk. The second disk is much larger than the first. I
have a formated partition on the second disk, /dev/hdb4.
What I think I need to do is |dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/dev/hdb4 . Then I
need to modify /etc/fstab on the second disk to mount /dev/hdb4 as /home.
Will the above dd command do what I want, namley copy all the contents
to the larger partiton on the second disk?
Also when all this is done, I am only going to be using the second
disk, currently the /etc/fstab file on the second disk refers to the
devices as /dev/hda1 , dev/hda2 etc. When I modify this file, should I
refer to what in the copying process, I refered to as /dev/hdb4 as
/dev/hda4 as that will then be the only disk that exists.
