How difficult is a divorce?

I upgraded my 60hour SA Series 2 a month ago now, by working my way thru Hinsdale, and copying all the programs from the 60Gb A drive, onto a 120Gb A drive.

After a month, I'm happy that the 120Gb drive is working fine, and I'd like to add back in the 60Gb as a B drive for some extra space.

I am sure in 6 months or so, I'll want to upgrade to another 120Gb drive. How difficult will it be at that point to divorce the 2 drives and switch out the 60Gb for a 120Gb one? Ideally, I'd like to be able to keep any recordings on the combined drive.

If you want to keep the recordings then you don't want to divorce the drives.

Use dd to clone the B drive on to the new one and then use mfsadd.

Hope you increased swap on the first upgrade.

Yeah, but it's worse to stay together JUST for the kids. "You B*STARD! I'm glad I slept with your brother!"

The only thing that hurts worse than having to hear your wife say that is when the husband is saying it to the wife.:eek: :D
