Hello all, I've got a dying drive on my hands.. and I know I found a doc/guide on the handbook before regarding this.. something like.. # tar cf - --one-file-system -C /var . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt/var where the new drive is fsck'd and mounted at /mnt .. or something else.. where is that? or how would I do that? I just want to take this 20G drive and copy it to a 30G drive.. what would be the best way? (and I need to talk to someone over the phone about this.. it's his box and he has no inet) Thanks in advance.
