I have a Sparc box that I use mainly as an FTP server. (SunBlad 100 if it
makes a ny difference) What I want to do now is to move that disk to an
x86 box.
The disk is partitioned in the following way: A single big native
partition, with a number of labels. (Or are disklabels the native
partitioning on Sparc? I don't remember)
Anyway, I have a couple of small labels for the usual system stuff and a
big one for storage. What I want to do is wipe the system related labels
and only keep the one used for storage. (And consequently do a fresh
install on the PC)
My concern however is that the Sun partitioning will be incompatible with
PC partitioning. If so, can anyone give advice on how to move the disk to
a PC?
Since it's a big disk, I'd like to avoid mirroring it.
