Hi,
Thanks to all help I've received thus far, I seem to be getting
closer to my goal of backing up a small hard disk to a large one.
Remember that the "dump" command is causing core dumps on the source
volume.
The two paths I'm working within are:
1) Using g4u to clone disk (this has worked fine), using growfs to
grow partitions
2) Trying dump/restore from a Freesbie CD.
Problems:
Approach 1: To use growfs apparently you have to edit the disk labels
first. I'm doing this through /stand/sysinstall, but I'm not seeing
all of my available space - just the available space with what was in
the smaller drive. How do I work around this?
Approach 2: Doing a dump from /mnt/ufs.x to /mnt/ufs.y from the
Freesbie CD produces the error "unsupported file system". How do i
work around this error?
