Migrating hard drives to new motherboard

#1 Post by FeedMeAStrayCat »

Hi All,

I am currently thinking about moving my debian install onto another more powerful motherboard/processor/ram amount. My question is how difficult will the move be?

I have done some reading on cloning and or moving. It seems like moving is the best bet,

It looks like its as simple as moving the harddrive. But what about multiple hardrives with LVM set up? I also realize I will probably have to find the network drivers for the new motherboard. There's probably other drivers that will need to be installed as well. What would need to be configured in terms of VM set up?


The former set up is,

Asus MB with i3 and 8GB of ram 3 hard drives
VLM set up
samba server for the local windows machines
Virtual Box with one VM - Win 7
SNTP server set up to serve the home network.
SSH with keys
VirtualBox PHP
Transmission for torrents
Plex and Subsonic (for remote streaming), other assorted packages

New Set up is,

Intel mobo with i5 and 16 GB of ram
-I would literally be moving the hard drives into this computer
