Not specifically Archlinux, but I am using Archlinux on my laptop, so I thought I’ll ask here.
I am planing to replace my 1 TB M.2 SSD in my laptop with a 2 TB M.2 SSD, and I am wondering how to clone the whole 1 TB SSD and restore it onto the 2 TB M.2 SSD.
I have read about people using $dd for that, but I never did that. Can anybody confirm that this is possible?
I am running two partitions, one boot and the other one is a crypt device with btrfs + subvolumes inside.
Is there anything I have to consider, before doing this?
Thank you for your time.
I recently did this on my desktop, and followed the instructions on the wiki
I used the rsync method and worked well for me.
Simply copying the files sure works, but I am too lazy to partition the new disk myself again. So Ii will just $dd the old disk to the new one. For that I got an m.2 USB case :)
