It's an old 30Gb disk, and I've bought a nice, new big one to replace it. The problem is, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. I have Samba shares on there, and other things, and as far as I'm concerned it's better if the system doesn't know [or care] that the disk is being swapped out, does that make sense? I guess what I'm asking is this, what's the best way to do a swap like this? Thanks. Ralph Los Information Security Consultant bOUNDARIEZ [m y b l o g]
