Sorry, keyboard misfire...

There are a number of utilities that can do this.
I was hoping for recommendations. I have Acronis
(which can do this) but it wants a license for each
machine. Other utilities don't seem to be reliable...

I'm going to try VMconverter and qemu-img, we'll see.

Not all fc6 packages have "fc6" in the name, so it's hardly complete.
Ohmster, *WHERE* did you point those Livna and RPMforge? RPMforge has
a package called "rpmforge-release" that you should keep updated when
you do OS updates. I'm sure Livna has something equivalent.

I made sure that yum is only using a Fedora repository and running "
rpm -qa | greb glibc" gives me:
glibc-2.11-4.i686
glibc-common-2.11.4.i686

When I try to downgrade to glibc-2.11-2.i686 yum comes back and tells me
there is no glibc-2.11-2.i686 available.

The way partitions are "hidden" is by changing the partition ID byte.
There's no need to hide a non-DOS partition from MS-DOS. Grub needs to know
how to read the partition where /boot/grub is located.

Looks like it would be simpler to switch to emacs/xemacs :-)

Migrating from raid1 to raid10

This should work fine - but be prepared for it to take a good while, and
of course it is a risky operation. Make sure all your data is backed
up, check that the backups are good and can be restored, and then back
up to a second source just to be sure. And make sure you have all
necessary installation CDs, etc., in case things go wrong.

Don't expect wonders from raid10 on two disks - it will be faster than
raid1 for some types of usage, but not /hugely/ faster.
 

Linux raid 10 does not require 4 disks - it will work fine with any
number of disks (greater than 1). Linux software raid 10 means having
(at least) two copies of everything on different disks, but arranged in
a "stripy" sort of way so that you get the performance benefits of
striping, with the reliability benefits of mirroring.
