Well - - - - reporting time. I might have used this method but my move was already happening when this suggestion appeared. Setup new system (partitioning) to newer ideas. Installed devuan daedalus (testing). Once system was working I then copied /home from the previous system using # rsnyc -avxrKSH user@oldsystem(192.168.x.x):/home/ /home/ that only took some 6ish hours. Next step was to backup my raid-10 array to a new 2 TB HDD, which will be pulled from the new system and only used for this purpose. So - - - back to waiting for a PCIe card for more SATA spots, and the cabling for such. (Mobo seemed to have lots of ports at 8 but I've got 5 used before the raid array or the previous system disc so more ports are needed.) I will have to look into rsync some more - - - - seems like a useful tool - - - thanks to those that suggested its use. Thanks to one and all that gave input. Kudus!!! (Finding this to be a very responsive group!!!! Thanks!!)
