Hi everyone. This is my first post in this forum, and I hope you fine people can help me with something I assume is possible, but I don't know how.
I have set up Ubuntu on a server with a lot of configurations and applications that I want to keep. Everything is installed on a single 80GB HDD and I plan to install two 1TB disks and mirror them (Raid 1). Now I would like to copy everything from the 80GB over to the two 1TB harddrives including Ubuntu installation, application, MBR, and whatever I need to copy to make the current installation to run on the new Raid setup. I will then remove the 80GB.
Now so the question is:
- Is this doable?
- Can someone tell me how to do it? (Preperation, precautions, commands, etc.)
I have read some threads and articles with guids, but I'm not sure if they can be used in this case
If someone would be so kind to help me with this, or point me to an article that suites my need I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
