I have now upgraded (?) my Snap 1000 with a 8GB drive from my 40GB, just for a test. Worked very well, I didn't strap the disk to master at first, but after that all I did was a "
config devices format 10000 /reinit" from
http://snapserver/config/debug . After the reboot, the disk was formatted automatically.
The way I did it was by copying the first 50000 blocks of the original disk.
This was done with "clone-n-recover" from
www.e-mart.com/www that someone spoke about earlier in this thread. (Expert options, sector copy.)
Then I wanted to backup the data to file, and I had to make that by booting a slackware Linux installation CD, mounting a fat partition, and dd the first 50000 blocks from the snap disk.
If you guys still haven't got an image of the "boot" area of the disk, PM me for it.
