Note 1: To avoid the possibility of overwriting the wrong disk, remove all disks apart from the source and destination devices. It’s presumed the new larger disk is properly connected, configured in BIOS, and detected by the system.
Note 2: This procedure is not recommended if multibooting any other OS.
I have purposely left all settings as the defaults for simplicity. However, it does look useful. Did you have success with that setting when cloning a disk or partition?
This guide is strictly for disk to disk cloning; though I may add an example of using partitions and disk images when I have some free time; whatever that is.
they don’t have a man page -
the --help option isn’t helpful
I think I saw that it means:
resize proportionally
500 MB on the source of 1TB would be translated to 1 GB on a 2 TB drive.
No real control on the size of the volumes.
Just proportions.
everything times two in this example case
Not many seem to understand the implications.
it seems that simply creating the partitions as one wants them and then copying the stuff over is just too easy … clonezilla has to get inserted into that very simple process
The -g auto parameter is only OK, if grub is already installed on the MBR, otherwise it would damage a cloned msdos parted disk. Maybe a rare case, anyway in my eyes it would be better to make a “real” 1:1 copy of the MBR and deselect this parameter.
