(suse 11.1) to something a little newer. This is my pan.<br>
<br>
1) Install new OS (Suse 12.2) on new 40G SATA<br>
2) Install new MythTB (latest packaged production release, .26?)<br>
3) Copy mythconverg database from old drive to new one<br>
4) ???<br>
5) Profit!!<br>
<br>
What do I need to do at step 4? Run the upgrade scripts manually?<br>
Run mythtv-setup and it will do it for me? Or will the .26 backend<br>
automagically find that the DB is out of schema and run the upgrade<br>
scripts for me?<br>
<br>
I'm still running IVTV tuners; are those supportable in 3.x kernels?<br>
(I think 12.2 is on 3.6 or 3.7...)<br>
<br>
Any other obvious things I've forgotten?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I bit the bullet and reinstalled my fedora machine to switch over to 64bits and xen hypervisor for vitualization and things went smoothly. No data loss :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would do the backup of the DB, backup /etc/*, backup /home/*, snapshot /etc/fstab, all your lvm configs. I always had success just copying over the entire /var/lib/mysql subdirectory over to the new install and things just worked assuming that your hostname stays the same. I would also run badblocks when you format your drive to discover bad blocks on the drive. Using the HD Homerun devices, I am so glad I don't need to muck around with kernel drivers.</div>
