Hi,
I recently bought an SSD I wanted to know what is the best way to transition from my original 1TB hard drive to a 960GB SSD. I want it to basically be as seamless as possible, so when I plug in the SSD everything runs as it should, without requiring any further setup if possible.
So far I tried, using the Gpart tool to reduce the size as the real data used on the 1TB drive is about 500GB. After that, I then used Rescue Zilla to copy from the 1Tb (with the new size of 500GB) to the 960GB SSD, when that was completed I expanded the SSD so it was back to 960GB and not 500GB. But when I plugged it in, whilst everything seemed to be the same for the most part, it needed a lot of configuring. For example, whilst portainer is still there and so are all the docker containers, they all pretty much need me to configure them. I don't know that was the best method so let me know where I went wrong.
Also, I would like to know the best way to transition to USB booting rather than SD card as I know that will be more reliable. I run OMV 6 on a Raspberry Pi 4.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
