Migrating from a slave disk

[Gastón Simone]

Hi all,

I have a slave disk with an old PostgreSQL installation. Now I want to
migrate its information to my new primary disk with a new PGSQL
installation. I have to do it this way because de old disk does not boot as
primary any more. It prints a kernel error.
Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Gastón.

Is this a linux box running kernel level mirroring? If so you can just
mount the drive to access it. If you've got a boot disk for the old drive
you just change the jumpers to move the old one in place of the new one
and boot from the boot floppy.
