Migrate Hard Drive Over IP

How to migrate a hard drive partition or lvm over a network.  On the machine where you want the drive to be copied to (target)

• Create a lvm the correct size   lvcreate -L6G -n pbx-root VolGroup00?
• start netcat   nc -l 30000 |dd of=/dev/VolGroup00?/pbx-root  Note: you may need to disable the firewall or just open port 30000 On the machine where you are copying from (source)  dd if=/dev/VolGroup00?/pbx-root |nc target.tld 30000  This may take some time - but when it is finished, both machines will return to the command prompt, with the target machine advising how much data has been transferred.
