mkbkup.pl question
Hello All, Has anybody ever attempted to use my script to create a bootable backup on hard drive of different size or geometry than the current drive? I have never tested that ability myself but wonder if Jim W. or others have used that ability. The reason I ask is that I am assisting someone who is attempting to do that and the backup drive will not boot, 'some kind of grub error'. His backup drive is a 40G drive and his current drive is a 20G drive. If anybody has done this and it worked let me know (made the different size drive bootable), and let me know otherwise. Regards, Newton _______________________________________________ ALG Mailing List http://austinlug.org/mailman/listinfo/alg

Re: mkbkup.pl question
I had no luck on dissimilar drives -- even same size, different makes did not work correctly.

Re: FCC to Deregulate Amateur Radio by 2008:
Yea, well I read the article to completion and sent a response to my sister who works at the FCC. She passed up her chain-o-command. I was assured that the article was intended for April Fools - and apparently she didn't get the "joke". OOPS! Maybe I should have passed the article for her to read? 8-} >>> n5xwb@... 04/01/2004 15:55 >>> Bill Eastman wrote: > http://www.eham.net/articles/8063 > Guess what Bill - It is April Fools Days! -- -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@...

Re: mkbkup.pl question
Hello Jim, Thanks for the response. I have been going over grub and grub-install man pages to see if there is anything that would apply to creation of an mbr on a hard drive with different geometry than the current OS drive. The reason I was researching this is that my mbkbkup.pl script uses 'grub-install' to build the boot record on the designated backup drive and point it, hopefully, to the correct address on the same backup drive. My assumption: attempting to make a backup drive with different geometry bootable doesnt work because grub assumes the geometry of the drive with the current OS installed (why it would do this and not attempt to discover the geometry of the drive where you want to create the MBR is beyond me). My workaround suggestion is find the line in mkbkup.pl that performs 'grub-install' and add '--force-lba' as a command line option to that command-line call in mkbkup.pl. (My reading of the man pages for grub-install says to me this may be worth a shot and I would try it myself if I had a different HDD size/geometry handy) If you feel like experimenting with this workaround and could tell me if it is successful I sure would appreciate it.(Continue reading)
