server harddisk upgrade
hi friends,
one of my clnts wants his Hard drive to be ugrded . He is currently using SCO unix 5.04 on a 4.3 Gig SCSI drive. He wants me to upgrd it to 18 Gigs . All he wants is that the data / programs / userfiles shall be intact. he has 3 user slices /user1, /user2 , /user3 presently and wants the same in the new one.
i want to kno how to copy back the entire contents of the old /user1 , and so on to the new one . i m sure just cp will not be able to copy the file permissions and user permissions also. also i want to kno if i can just copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file from the old to the new one so that the usernames and passwords dont have to be created in the new one .
any help or pointers will be highly appreciated
