I considered all this, and read a bit about ddrescue, dd_rescue and dd_rhelp. It seems to me using either of these would be the least hassle free. I wouldn't need to create the LVM on my new physical drive. That means no VG name changes and I can just reboot to my F13 partition and it should just work (?). Also my data is not mission critical. :) I am planning to do the following. 1. Boot into my old perfectly working F11 partition 2. Then do one of the following: # dd_rescue -b 1G -l logfile -o badblocklog /dev/sd[faulty] /dev/sd[new] or, # dd_rhelp /dev/sd[faulty] /dev/sd[new] info or as recommended on the dd_rhelp homepage use "GNU ddrescue", # ddrescue -n /dev/sd[faulty] /dev/sd[new] Any suggestions on which of these would be recommended? > http://grover.open2space.com/node/17 > > JB Thank you for this link JB. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
