Need advice about removing a failing HD...
My current setup is this:
IDE0 hda = WinXP & OpenSuSE 10.2 (Master) hdb = 250GB (Slave) IDE1 CDROM DVD-RW PCI extension card for IDE (this card increases my IDE from 4 devices to 8) slot 1 hde = 200GB (Master) slot 2 = empty slot 3 = empty slot 4 = empty ...hdb is moaning and groaning at startup and is still under warranty...I want to remove it and replace it with the 200GB drv. If I switch the jumper on the hde to Slave and move it up to IDE0 (and remove the PCI extension card) would HAL recongize it and adjust/edit my /etc/fstab file? ...any other idea's/thoughts?...thanks :) |
Hya,
That's what I would do. I think your logic works. Happy Penguins! |

edit the fstab before 'or' after the removal of bad HD?

Hi,

If the drive is the '/' then you would have to modify before you use it or your mounts won't work with no 'fstab'. |
