I'm planning on moving the Fedora-20 system on my laptop to a new hard disk (500GB instead of 80GB). I've partitioned the new disk. When I copy partitions from the old disk to the new one with "cp -a" (running under a Fedora Live CD) I get a lot of messages of the form diff: a/bin/acroread: No such file or directory diff: b/bin/acroread: No such file or directory
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.
I am planning a migration from a present F20 installation to a new system--that is, a new physical box on which I will do a completely fresh installation of F20 from the KDE spin. I am prepared to re-install all applications. All I want to do is move the contents of /home. What are the best commands for doing this?
