Clone 320GB HDD to 64GB SDD

gderf

good morning and sorry if I disturb you

what do you think of the steps I described above?

Zitat von gderf

I can make no sense of them.

OK I'll explain them in detail

From OMV Boot into CloneZilla

enter on Enter_Shell> CMD

in the shell I type (sudo su)

then type (fdisk -l)

check how the discs are indicated

sdb 320GB sda 64GB

then type the DD command

(dd if = / dev / sdb of = / dev / sda bs = 512 count = 1)

Reboot

Boot into CloneZilla

enter on Enter_Shell> CMD

I write (sui ^ c) send and type (sudo su) and again (fdisk -l)

I check the screen if everything is ok

and finally (fdisk / de ^ c) then exit again exit

start clonezilla

send on "device-device mode"

then on "beginner"

below on "part_to_local_part"

I select HDD sdb1 as source, SSD sda1 as destination

skip checking / repairing source file system

yes twice

rerun

device-device mode

beginner

part_to_local_part

sdb2 as source

sda2 as destination

skip checking / repairing source file system

yes twice

Remove CloneZilla

Reboot

I hope it all works out

you understand now?

You are taking what could be one line of shell code and turning it into I do not know what.

Sorry, but if you want to continue on the path you are on now I can't help you.

After reducing the size of the HDD partition, I connected the SSD to the machine's motherboard and restarted the machine in the Clonezilla utility, entered the Bash shell interface and checked both the disk partition table and the dimensions using the following commands.

# fdisk -l /dev/sda

# fdisk -l /dev /sdb

here I have taken note of the position of the disks

sda 64GB SSD sdb HDD 320GB

then I entered the dd command

# dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1

After cloning the MBR, I ran the fdisk -l command again to check if the partition table matches on both disks.

I quit the Bash shell

with the exit command

Now, that's all right, I started the Clonezilla utility, I selected the device-device mode, run the wizard for beginners and select the part-to-local_part cloning option.

I chose the first local partition from the list (sdb1 - System Reserved) as the source and I pressed the Enter key to continue.

So, I chose the local destination partition, which will be the first partition from the second disk, (sda1) and I hit the Enter key to continue.

In the next screen I chose Ignore check/repair file system and I pressed the Enter key again to continue.

Finally, I hit the Enter key again to continue and I twice answered with yes (y) to accept the warnings and start the cloning process.

when it was finished I turned it off I removed the HDD physically from the PC,

and I booted with SSD and it worked perfectly

Thank you so much gderf for making me reason, on all the steps to do

Here is your one line of shell code, now that you know which disk is which:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress

ok! I understand, in this way I clone the disk without going through clonezilla

gderf many thanks, I write it down for future cloning
