How to Clone IDE to SATA
 

Hi All


I am trying to make mirror copy of hard drive, The RedHat 4.0 is
installed on IDE hard drive.
the partitions are /dev/hda1 mounted as boot,
/dev/hda2 mounted as /, /dev/hda3 mounted ad swap

lsmod command was not showing ata_piix loaded, so I compiled the
kernel for SATA support then I ran the lsmod command and found that
lsmod is showing ata_piix loaded

the output of lsmod

ata_piix 17609 6
libata 96857 ata_piix

also I added alias in modprobe.conf file
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix

For mirroring I took SATA drive and created exact partition as IDE,
and then copy the / data except /boot, /proc directories through rsync
rsync -av / --exclude=/boot --exclude=/proc --exclude=/mnt /mnt/sata

then I transferd the Image of boot partition on /dev/sda1 through dd command.

and followed the following steps
1) changed the FSTAB file, removed /dev/hda1 and replaced /dev/sda1
2) edited grub.conf and changed root=/dev/sda3
3) reinstalled grub on /dev/sda

and tried to boot the machine from SATA hard drive, I get error when
RedHat is Loading

mount error 6 and mount error 22
kernel is not syncing

Could some one please help how to I transfer Image from IDE to SATA

Regards
Sanjay






How do I move a linux installed from a
IDE hard drive to a SATA one
I have tried it with ghost and it fails big time.

Is there any way to prepare linux to move IDE to a
sata drive

I got error kernel not syncing

mount error 22 and 06

The df -h shows

/dev/hda1 mounted ad

Hi All


I am trying to make mirror copy of hard drive, The RedHat 4.0 is
installed on IDE hard drive.


1. Boot from any LiveCD that has SATA support.
2. mkdir /old /new
3. Mount old drive in /old .. creating /old/boot /old/usr etc where
needed and mount the "old" filesystems into these directories
4. Partition the new drive however you like. Create whatever filesystems
you like. Mount them as above, but in /new .. so mount your new root
filesystem in /new .. your new /boot in /new/boot ... etc.
5. cd into /old and type (without quotes) "tar cf - * | ( cd /new; tar
xfp -)"
6. ls -la /old .. if there are any files that begin with a "." .. copy
them to /new with cp.

7. chroot /new
8. modify your /etc/modprobe.conf to accomodate your new module for your
SATA drive.
9. Make a new initrd (keep a copy the old one) if you needed to add
anything related to your new module.
10. Update your grub config (including device map) to use the new initrd
and to accomodate for any drive changes (i.e. /dev/hda becomes /dev/sda, etc).

11. Install grub on the new device.
12. Make any necessary changes to other files .. /etc/fstab etc.
13. Exit the chroot, umount /old /new
14. Reboot, removing LiveCD.

Hope this helps.

Barry
