Migrating OMV install on 600GB drive to 24GB SSD

    So when I did my OMV build I made a few mistakes. It took me ages to get it set up and now it's great. The thing is, I didn't partition the drive with the main OMV installation on and so it's only used a very small amount on a 600GB drive. I want to clone the installation drive exactly onto a 24GB SSD. I know you can resize the system partition, but I have read that people have come into problems with that.


    Am I OK to resize then clone, or is it better just to start again with a clean installation? Thanks guys!

    You can use Clonezilla Live USB. Boot that USB and select your 600GB drive as source and 24GB SSD as target and it should clone your larger drive and produce a bootable SSD.


    You could partition the 600GB first but it's not necessary.
    Edit: Use Gparted first to resize the main partition down to, say, 20GB then use Clonezilla with option -r -icds
