Assuming that you are willing to clobber everything on the target hard
drive with the copy from the source hard drive, do as follows:
- create partition(s) on the new disk to mimick the source disk.
- dinit those partitions
- cp -cfLnOpRv /root_dir_on_source_partition /root_dir_on_target_partition
Be aware that there re just a few things that this won’t copy correctly.
If the source drive was bootable it won’t copy /.boot or /.altboot so
copy those manually.
If you use old style licenses (i.e. /etc/licenses) it won’t copy them
corretly. You have to erase what it did do and use the license utility.
- rm /target_drive/etc/licenses
- license /source_drive/etc/licenses /target_drive/etc/licenses
Hope this helps.
