As long as you're confident the data is there.

Greetings;

I have added a 1.0 TB Maxtor drive to the system, and copied, using mc,
everything that was on the 400GB deathstar I had been using for my
virtual  tapes to this new drive.

The I edited /etc/fstab to reflect the LABEL name of the new disk in the
line  that mounts /amandatapes in that file.

Then I did 'umount /amandatapes', checked with df to see that it was
gone, and  issued a 'mount /amandatapes', checked with df and the new
drive was there  as /amandatapes.

And as the user amanda, 'amcheck Daily' is happy as a clam.

I have not rebooted yet, don't see why I'd need to, but can anyone come
up  with a good reason why after checking tonight's run of amanda, that I
can't  repartition that 400GB deathstar (which is still breathing just
fine) and  install a ubuntu-9.04 preview just for grins?  Reason?  /me
tired of being  fedoras lab test rat.  /me tired of not being able to
play the videos my kids  send me.  Yes, I like to bleed, and play the
canary bit in a coal mine play,  but when I break something, I want it to
be something _I_ did that broke it.

Comments?

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
