Folks: Situation: I have a 500G boot drive (root, swap, home) I'd like to copy to a new 250G drive which must then also be bootable (yes, there's enough room). This are EFI drives. I can use "dd", but I don't know the proper parameters, and as I understand it, copying a 500G to a 250G drive is Bad(tm). I could use "rsync", but I don't think the second 250G drive will boot just because I copied the files over to it. I suspect I would have an additional step needed to make the drive bootable.
Can someone outline the proper procedure here? Paul -- Paul M. Foster Personal Blog: http://noferblatz.com Company Site: http://quillandmouse.com Software Projects: https://gitlab.com/paulmfoster
