Re: HOWTO: Move FreeBSD to a new hard disk

Hi, Jason
Thanks a lot for your detailed reply, which gave me confidence what to do next.
I agree with you that manufactueres' silly little tests on their HDD doesn't gurantee their HDD at all!
In fact, Yesterday, I used the following commands and seems it recovered the corrupted partition, though not the data, which I think it has lost anyway.
--I bootup the troubled HDD, and enter into single user mode
--issue command
#mount ad0 /mnt
#newfs /dev/ad0s2e
#shutdown -h now
--Restart the computer, this time the booting was alright, and I used fsck -p, it seems all the partitions are clean now.
Maybe this is the work around way to fix the troubled HDD.
Just hope it will NOT happen corrupted data during backup in the future.
Thanks to recommand Seagate backup tape.
However, since I do not know much about Seagate backup tape, do you mind I ask you a couple of questions about it?
1. Which one you recommand: Internal or External one?
2. which Technology I should choose for FreeBSD backup, DDS-4, DDS-3 or DAT72 ?
3. Which interface I should choose: SCSI-2 or ULTRA 2 SCSI LVD
Your advice are highly appreciated
Jennifer |
