Hello all.
I am on OMV erasmus 3.0.89 and I need to upgrade my Samsung Pro 256GB SSD which I use as "cache/temp" disk (for incomplete deluge downloads, plex media files...) to a bigger Samsung 850 Pro 512GB one as I am reaching 99% of disk usage (plex video previsualizations, mostly)
I would like to ask which is the best/fastest way to clone the complete disk (256GB --> 512GB). I guess it is clonezilla, but I have a problem, I cannot get video output from my NAS in an easy way (no iGPU or IPMI), I would need to unmount all the componentes (including the drive cage and CPU heatsink) to install a temporary dedicated GPU card, and then reinstall everything again.
I am thinking of rsync the drives, that way I would clone the files/folders, but what about permissions and other data? Would it be a complete clone process?
If not, could I detach the SSD disk, connect both (SSD source and SSD destination) in my workstation PC, run clonezilla in a virtual machine by VMware and do the process there?
Thanks in advance.
