Upgrade disk

Post by yooakim »

I just got a new 3TB disk for my Bubba 3. I now simply want to clone the existing disk (2TB) within the Bubba3 to the new disk. And then insert the 3TB disk into the Bubba3.

What is the "best" command to use if i want to clone the disk in this way? I have limited experience of Linux disk cloning tools/commands.

In my PC I know how to do this using CloneZilla but I'd prefer to not have to mount/attach the disks to my PC.

Any tips?

Hi.

I had a similar problem when moving from b2 to b3. I used rsync in the end. This will not be an option for you though.
EDIT: I mean as you don't have a PC to do it with.

Can you not connect the new disk via eSATA and then use dd to copy the partitions over?

I guess you can use dd but probably only when you boot from USB disk.
