I would like to clone a system (Fedora 20 if it upgrades successfully<br>
from 19) and put the lot onto a larger hdd. I think the command I<br>
want is<br>
<br>
dd if=sda1 of=sdb1<br>
<br>
sda1 being the origin drive and sdb1 being the output drive. If the<br>
references are different then they will be altered accordingly but I<br>
believe they are conventionally named drives.<br>
<br>
There are no fancy partition layouts here. I just banged the lot on<br>
into one partition (it was an old 20gb drive). It does not have LVM<br>
or anything like that. The intended new drive will probably be either<br>
a 60gb or 80gb eide pata drive similar to the original (just larger).<br>
<br>
I think I shall do all of this using a live cd. Is this a good idea?<br>
With the output going to a larger drive I assume I'm going to need to<br>
use something like gparted to expand some of the folders?<br>
<br>
Would I need to make any alterations or reinstalls of grub if done<br>
this way? Or it is carried over to the new drive together with the<br>
original system?<br>
<br>
I'm doing it this way instead of using something like Clonezilla<br>
because I am trying to get a grip on using the cli instead of always<br>
using a gui solution. I'm actually finding it rather pleasing :)<br>
