Moving install to another hdd or reinstall

Postby iluciv » Sat Sep 15, 2012 5:07 am

Hi I've got my server set up pretty well atm but recently a 500g sata drive has become available from an upgraded machine, I'd like to use this as my boot drive if it's going to be possible.

Currently my fedora install is on sda as 3 lvm partitions on a 1TB drive. (I think it takes up around 300g) the rest of the drive is partitioned as storage with my other drives in a greyhole pool. I'm wondering if it's possible to move the lvm partitions to the 500g drive and remove the partitions on the 1tb drive returning it to storage? or if I do a clean install onto the 500g drive able I able to bolt that up to the greyhole storage pool at all?

Thanks in advance

I would say the simplest and safest solution would be a reinstall.

I didn't think it'd be an easy task to move but I thought I'd ask just incase.

I've just started my RHCE training now so I might try and put Amahi on CentOS as it may help with that training.

Thanks again.

Amahi will only work on Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 14. There was early development by a user on CentOS, but it was stopped quite some time ago. It never got to the point of adding apps or a repo, only just basic functionality.

There is no repo for that OS nor will any of the apps will be available.
