Hi all-
I currently have Arch running on a 250GB drive, and I'm going to be moving to a 500GB drive.
why not just `dd if=/dev/olddrive of=/dev/newdrive` and then grow the filesystems in it change UUIDs in fstab, done?
The "dd" command is inappropriate, a "cp -a" is the most reasonable solution. However, UUIDs are still an issue, the average desktop computer user should consider to prefer a lable over an UUID.
Why is it inappropriate? It should work fine, and work with no other changes. Even the UUIDs/Labels would be the same that way.
