I have a Unix based system running my POS (Point of sale) system that uses two 4.1 gig hard drives. I use the
./diskcopy
command to mirror master to Backup
My problem is 4.1 gig hard drives are no longer available new so I need to move to a larger cap drive but for my command to work the 2 drives must be physically the same.
What should do to mirror (os & data) to a larger physical drve?
I come from DOS world and haven't got this UNIX world figured out.... well I am just trying to do a few things.
I am not familiar with the acronyms you used previously so more detail would be very helpful and appreciated.
If I need to find out more info and post it I will be glad to do so.
There must be a command line to do what i want i just don't have a clue what it is.....
I have a pentium prossessor with 3.5 floppy and two H.D. only, no CD or other devices. Drive 0 is the master Drive 1 is the (Backup)Drive. I am going to assume the command
./diskcopy
is a call for a script or batch file (I really don't know)
since it doesn't appear to be a command word in UNIX.
Any suggestions of what I can enter and try would be GREAT.
I have a Beta site to try things on.
Thanks for your help so far and for your responses.....

./diskcopy is more-than-likely a shell script (and not too big). It would help if you posted the script. We could take a look at the script and be more helpful.
I would like the window that this opens to be larger.
Can it be modified to do so?
Thanks.

I have the following question: Assume a text file with one text
column, followed by 2 integer columns.
How would I generate a script or, preferably, a command that will output
the rows in which the value of the third... (6 Replies)

I've looked a little but haven't found a solid answer, assuming there is one.
What's better, hardware mirroring or ZFS mirroring? Common practice for us was to use the raid controllers on the Sun x86 servers. Now we've been using ZFS mirroring since U6. Any performance difference? Any other... (3 Replies)
Hi,
How do I mirror an external scsi vg to one hdisk san? The vg has multiple hdisks and the san hdisk has only one.
Is this possible or do I need to create the same hdisks as the scsi? What I meant is, if the scsi vg has 10 hdisk then I need to create also 10 hdisk of san with the same... (6 Replies)
Hi All,
I am trying to grab a term which is just smaller and larger than the assigned value using the below code. But there seems to be some problem. The value i assign is 25 so i would expect it to output a smaller value to be 20 instead of 10 and 20 and larger value to be 30 instead of 30 and... (3 Replies)
I have just been assigned the task of upgrading to a larger disk on a e250; however, I am use to working on Linux and x86 hardware. I would be very appreciative if someone could inform me on how this procedure can be done safely.
To begin with, the e250 has a 18 Gig primary scsi disk and a 18... (3 Replies)
