Hi. I have a running freebsd 4.6-RC on my IDE harddrive. Now i want to switch to an other harddrive, with the same size, but not IDE, its a SCSI harddrive. My question is very easy. How can i switch my running system, with all my installed ports, the updates (i installed 4.0 on the IDE harddrive and now i have 4.6RC running), and so on, to the SCSI harddisk ? Is there a way to copy the partitions ? Or, if not, what is the best way ? Just install a new FreeBSD System on my new SCSI device and copy the ports tree and /usr/src from the old IDE to the new SCSI (also the /home ), and try to build a new system with the sources i copied ? Thanks. asg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
