This was my first RHEL installation, so I did not spent so much time on partitioning and so on. The partition table looks like this: sda1: /boot/efi; 200MB sda2: /boot; 200MB tmpfs: /dev/shm: 50GB LVM2: /dev/mapper/lv_root: 50GB /dev/mapper/lv_home 50GB Now I want to change the HDD. I have done that some times using "dd" or "cp -ax" and fitting the partitions and so on. - But how to deal with /boot/efi? can I just dd or cp it? - And what about the LVM? dd the partitions themselfs or the whole LVM? With best, Mario __ md mariodeng@googlemail.com
