Less exciting than I expected

mdlbear Finally got around to swapping the hard drives on my fileserver, putting
the new(ish) 200GB drive in place as the main one. The last step of the
process was to copy the root partition over, edit /etc/fstab
for the new configuration, install grub on the new drive, and
swap cables. Worked perfectly except for one bad edit in
fstab.
The things that I blew the last time around were forgetting to mark a
partition as bootable on the new drive, and not knowing that you need to
use grub-install --recheck.
Along the way I also swapped out the broken video card (green was missing) and pulled the two SCSI drives and the controller.
All-in-all a very smooth transition.
