Hello,
I wanted to clone my distribution fedora 19, I used to do it with
previous release but I failed with fedora 19.
I copy (-a) the partition / (lvm2) and /boot (ext4)
You probably need to remake the initramfs. The easiest way to do all of this after the cp
-a of everything is to put together the clone at /mnt such that you have /mnt as rootfs,
then /mnt/boot, and then use mount -B to mount the faux file systems, /proc, /dev/, /sys
at their respective locations, /mnt/proc, /mnt/dev, /mnt/sys. Then chroot /mnt.
Now blkid to find the uuids for /boot and /, and change fstab so that it's mounting
the right volumes. Use dracut -f to make a new initramfs. And then grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg to make a new grub.cfg.
If you started out with a system with correct labels, the cp -a will preserve them as it
implies -Z so fixfiles/restorecon isn't needed.
