[plug] "Ghosting" drives

[smclevie at ozemail.com.au]

Hi all,

How does one copy an ext3 drive to another drive which has a different partitioning structure?

eg. Disk 1 has 5 partitions

/, /swap, /usr, /home and /var

Disk 2 has 7 partitions

/, /swap, /usr, /var, /var/www, /home and /usr/local.

I want to transfer all info to Disk 2 and then run from Disk 2 and give back Disk 1 to its owner.

All partitions on all disks are ext3.  There are no MSDos partitions in sight!  Its all Linux.

I run Grub by preference.

How do I go about it?

Thanks,

Steve.
