I know under windows after XP you couldn't just swap your drive to a new PC and expect it to work.
I am looking at setting up a new server, but want to add drives to my current one and want to be able to swap them to the new one. Will this cause any issues, could I prepare to avoid those issues?
Current server:
VIA C7 based mITX
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server
HD 640GB ***AAKS model
currently running SMB shares + Subsonic server
Intermediate step(?)
Move OS to 4GB CF card on CF to IDE card
add 2 port SATA PCI card ($25) (current MB only has 2 SATA)
4 2TB drives
I want to find an i3 board with 6 SATA and room for expansion (I also have an old AMD 3600x2 I could get a board for) and move the drives to that later. I will probably also upgrade to 10.04 or 11.04 also.
Would this pose any problems?
