Here's my story ... I've cloned a remote disk (fipsed freeBSD partition) onto a larger disk (fdisked freeBSD partition) set up as a second drive on my local machine. The idea is to do a straight swap. This is what I did: Basic install on second disk, then deleted everything. mount /dev/wd2e /mnt rsh www dump 0f - /var | (cd /mnt ; restore xf -) umount /mnt;mount /dev/wd2f /mnt rsh www dump 0f - /usr | (cd /mnt ; restore xf -) umount /mnt;mount /dev/wd2a /mnt rsh www dump 0f - / | (cd /mnt ; restore xf -) umount /mnt Everything seemed to restore OK. However when I tried to boot I got: / OK last mounted on /mnt /wd2s2f Incorrect Super Block /wd2s2e Incorrect Super Block What have I missed? Does it matter that the new disk has bigger slices?
