Howdy,
I'm trying to copy my boot partition (and others) to a new drive with
dump/restore pipes.
(cd /rb.boot ; /sbin/dump -f - /dev/sda1 | /sbin/restore -rf -)
I get a bunch of messages I've never seen before; here's a sample:
/sbin/restore: ./grub/ffs_stage1_5: EA set
security.selinux:system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0 failed: Operation not
supported
I'm running with Selinux turned off now but it came out of the box
(install DVD) with Selinux turned on.
Could someone help me with this problem please?
Regards,
George...
Dump/restore is a very poor tool to use unless the drives are identical.
Partition, label and format the new drive like you want it, then use rsync
on a partition by partition basis, bearing in mind that you can src from a
directory to a partition if you would like to split a busy partition into 2
on the new drive.
