Hi there (again),
yesterday I received my 2 new sata disks so I did the following.
On the existing 7.5.1 installation on a PATA drive, I attached one of the new SATA disks to sync it with the current installation.
After syncing, I took this disk and hooked it up to a different computer running a freshly installed SME 7.5.1
I used the upgradedisk commands and that all looked fine.
But, a lot of my information is lost. All /opt files (squeezeboxmusic, torrentflux etc.) are not copied, and also the contribs are not there.
Before I tried the Affa method, but the rpms_missing file was completely empty, so this also didn't help me a lot.
To be short, how can I easily change the current 1 disk PATA installation to a 1 disk SATA installation without all these problems. This shouldn't be this hard in my opinion, this way the software RAID of SME server over 1 PATA and 1 SATA disk is useless, because the machine won't boot from the 'backup' disk.
Hopefully somebody can help me to get it fixed, or point me to a topic which I can use.
