I'm planning on moving the Fedora-20 system on my laptop to a new hard disk (500GB instead of 80GB).
I've done that quite often, and it's no problem.
- Boot from an external medium, e.g. www.sysresccd.org
- Mount both disks
- Use "rsync -avxHSAX /source/ /target" to copy the partitions
- Install grub2 on the new disk:
- mount /dev/sdaX /mnt
- grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
- grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2./grub.cfg
Reboot, and you're done.
Don't you have to correct UUIDs in /etc/fstab on the new disk?
