Apologies if this is a question that's been addressed before. It's likely a common one, but I didn't find anything that quite covered the base I'm looking for here.
My OMV setup is pretty simple:
1x 240GB SSD with two partitions (one for the OS, one for virtual machines and Docker config data)
1x 4TB HDD for data (it does have Docker config data for one container--NextCloud)
1x 4TB HDD for periodic backups of the data drive
The data drive is running low on space, so I'm upgrading to a bigger one. An ideal approach would be one where I can just drop the new drive in and have OMV see it as if it's just the same old disk (but bigger), without having to recreate all the shares, etc. Would something as simple as the following approach do that for me?
1) Boot into Clonezilla and image the old data drive onto the new one
2) Shutdown
3) Remove the old (4TB) data drive
4) Boot into OMV
I imagine one key to all this is confirming that cloning this way would also give the new drive the old UUID. Is that the case? If not, I'm guessing I'll need to fix that before the first boot into OMV with the new drive, in order to keep the OS from ringing alarm bells that the drive it expects to see is no longer there. But I'm not sure how to do that.
Any confirmations, advice, or feedback on the best way to handle this would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
