What I want to know is if there's a simple technique to move the root and boot partitions to the new drive? I'm, happy enough to edit the grub installation, but I'm not sure what's involved in maintaining permissions when copying etc, dev, proc, sbin and other important and special folders. Is there a tool or technique for this? I've fitted the new hdd as /dev/hdc, the old boot drive is /dev/hdh - don't ask <IMG SRC="cid:1135317098.19314.7.camel@localhost.localdomain" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":-)" BORDER="0">. Grub is on the MBR of /dev/hda but boot (and therefore /boot/grub/...) is on /dev/hdh5. I'm moving root and boot from /dev/hdh to /dev/hdc1. The tmp and swap partitions are ok and I'll move them in fstab. /dev/hda is home as lvm and I'm copying that to /dev/hdc5 which is also an lvm partition. I know I can swap home in fstab no problems. It's just making sure "/" works and I've copied my current breezy implementation across that I'm not sure of how to do. Any advice appreciated.
