Reed) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Assistance needed with fixing/moving filesystem Date: 7 Feb 1996 16:30:33 GMT Organization: Texas A&M Department of Computer Engineering, College Station, TX Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4fak39$5fc@news.tamu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sprinkle.cs.tamu.edu I find myself in the unfortunate situation of having to exchange the hard drive in my computer after three months of using FreeBSD. Since the old drive kept losing files on me, I need to reinstall FreeBSD on the new drive (blah...I'd much rather it if I could simply copy everything from one drive to the other, but hey, I don't know what's missing, or what's been damaged). To make the transition easier, what files should I recover from the old drive before I ship it off? I've already copied things such as user accounts, the kernel configuration file, and the /etc directory. What else should I grab before pulling the old drive? -- -Brad Reed mbreed@tamu.edu http://http.tamu.edu:8000/~mbr4786/
