you made a snapshot of the server, right? or is that too dangerous

You tell me how you'd like to "snapshot" a server with no volume management system. I dumped the databases at least...

mysqldump + rsync should be good enough I think.. do you know if it'll come back after a reboot?

Plan is to head to the DC next month when I'm in the area and reinstall the fucker. And move the current turd OS into a VM.

I might be able to do the VM move ahead of time. Disk/partition layout is such that I can convert a whole disk to LVM.

are you talking some sort of in place conversion or lift and shift?

This thing has two disks/arrays. I should be able to completely free one with minimal (~5min) downtime.

Then LVM it, create VM volume, tar/rsync rootfs into that, boot it and restore databases, ensure it works

Then final sync and point FE at the VM. Host OS waits until I get to the DC, then wipe&reinstall, keep LVM datadisk.
