Argh. Got the mkdir's wrong. Here's a corrected version, no guarantees etc.:
Assuming sdc is the source drive and sdd is the destination: > > cfdisk /dev/sdd # make a big Linux partition called sdd1, and a swap > partition roughly 2x RAM size called sdd2 > mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1 # format sdd1 (caution -- make dead sure sdd1 is the > destination) > mkswap /dev/sdd2 # format swap partition (caution) > mkdir /mnt/src > mkdir /mnt/dst > mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/src # make source accessible under /mnt/src > mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/dst # make destination accessible under /mnt/dst > ls -la /mnt/src # confirm you're looking at the old drive > ls -la /mnt/dst # confirm this is the new drive -- only thing showing > should be an empty lost+found directory > rsync -HaSx /mnt/src/ /mnt/dst/ # do the copy -- all of these flags are > important, as well as the trailing slashes > rsync -PHaSvx /mnt/src/ mnt/dst/ # alternative, verbose version of the > above command > mount -t proc none /mnt/dst/proc # get things set up for the chroot > mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dst/dev > mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/dst/sys > chroot /mnt/dst/ /bin/bash # start a new shell using /mnt/dst as / > grub-install /dev/sdd # install boot loader (caution) > exit # leave the chroot > umount /mnt/dst/proc # tear down the chroot > umount /mnt/dst/dev > umount /mnt/dst/sys > umount /dev/sdc1 # detach the source and target drives from the live > filesystem tree > umount /dev/sdd1 > > All of that mount and chroot stuff towards the end is to enable you to use > the new drive's version of grub to install the boot loader in the boot > track of the new drive.
