[SLUG] Hard Drive Sizes...Bare Metal Restore

Good Morning,

I have had a question asked of me that I just don't know. Actually, I
think I know, but I've never tried it.

One of our Open Source products at CA is our Bare Metal Restore product
for Linux systems. The question is...

"If I havea crash and replace my hard drive, and it happens to be a
larger hard drive than was in there when the DR media was created, will
it work?"

The limitation is not with our DR option...it just creates an image.
The question I have is, how will Linux handle it? Will it just see a
lot more free space, or will bad things happen?

Dave
