Does this mean you are expecting me to do this?
It is best to do it in single user mode, work to check nad move. But I could do it the e2fsck in multi-user mode. But one would have to take down services, you don't want to have services runnig when there is no write access to the disk. I would do the copying with rsync. Changing the disk I certainly can not do, and teh change of the disk should appear immediately after an rsync.
This week may not be the best time to have lengthy interruptions, given that authors are currently getting their monthly update.
ok, whatever suits you. It just has to be done asap, it's been too long already that this issues has been postponed. In addition to run a serious internal backup, we will need to get a USB 2.0 card installed, and an additional disk. But we can do that later. I still favour an external backup to raneb, for example.
