[SunHELP] Moving data from a small disk to a larger disk

[Nguyen, David M]

Yes, netra t1 can hold 2 disk but it has only one disk currently.
Someone recommends to use dd utility.  What is different between dd and
cpio?  And if I use cpio to transfer files does it copy root file
systems without causing any problems during rebooting like the system
could not come up?

Thanks,
David

The T1 can have 2 disks; do you already have 2 in there?

With 2 disks cpio from one to the other.

Replace the disk and you have to have it backed up somewhere else
(tape?).
