I have a new 2TB SSD I want to configure as root+home, with an extra
partition for a Windows VM. My current setup is:
/dev/sda (an older 120GB SSD) which currently has /boot and / via LVM:
/dev/sda1 2048 1230847 1228800 600M EFI System
/dev/sda2 1230848 3327999 2097152 1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 3328000 234440703 231112704 110.2G Linux LVM
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 7.7G 0 7.7G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.7G 214M 7.5G 3% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.7G 1.7M 7.7G 1% /run
/dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root 68G 27G 38G 41% /
tmpfs 7.7G 87M 7.7G 2% /tmp
/dev/sda2 976M 233M 677M 26% /boot
/dev/sda1 599M 20M 580M 4% /boot/efi
/dev/sdb1 1.9T 1.5T 372G 81% /home
tmpfs 1.6G 96K 1.6G 1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sdb is an ext4 HDD with /home
/dev/sdc is a Windows HDD I mostly use under QEMU/KVM though can also
boot directly.
This disk will be replaced by the new and larger SSD. My first thought
was to use dd to clone the 3 partitions of the old SSD onto 3
identically-sized partitions on the new one, then add extra partitions
for /home (which will shrink in size after splitting off a bunch of
media files) and the Windows installation. The new SSD will then
replace the old one, which will be retired.
Will this work without adjusting the EFI setup or grub2? If not, what
other steps are required? Clearly /etc/fstab would also need some
editing but I'm comfortable with that. EFI is the kicker as I've only
just started to use it and really don't know what I'm doing.
