Hawks) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: How to move fs across disks Date: 21 Aug 1995 23:41:07 GMT Organization: a FreeBSD site Lines: 19 Message-ID: <41b5ij$6tp@mindy.vnet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: pent.vnet.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I have 2 ide drives and 1 scsi drive. my fs is currently setup with / /dev/wd0a /usr /dev/sd0s1a swap /dev/wd1s1b I would like to move / and /usr onto the scsi drive /dev/sd0s1a I tried to move the files over in the save tree structure making a new /etc/fstab table with the change. The boot using hd(2,a)/kernel booted from the scsi drive but it hangs when it get past the probes. It seams to be failing when it gets ready to mount the drive /dev/sd0s1a. the error says it does not match root device. Then it kicks me into sh. With it booting the kernel off of the scsi drive isn't the scsi already mounted? What is the key to changing filesystem around. Adam W. Hawks root@pent.vnet.net awhawks@vnet.net
