swap IDE for SCSI
Presently:
40GB IDE, partitioned properly (which means separate /boot / /var /tmp /usr /home swap).
Future:
36GB SCSI and adapter, same partitioning scheme, IDE drive wiped clean and used for backups.
What I basically need to do is copy EVERYTHING over from IDE to SCSI drive and make the SCSI drive bootable. I am thinking:
1) Power off (you know, avoid sparks and all)
2) Install SCSI adapter / Drive
3) Boot into linux CD in "rescue" mode
4) Partition SCSI drive with fdisk or utils on rescue CD
5) Rsync? Tar/Untar? dd? mv? Not sure!
6) Edit lilo.conf with new drive parameters /dev/sda*, run lilo to install boot record to SCSI drive
7) Bootup and pray
8) Wipe IDE disk after verification
How would you accomplish step 5? Is this layout rational?
