0. This is not a GNU/Linux mailing list. It's about a boot manager (previous to Linux and GNU OS) Backup everything to revert every step if this fails:
1. Clone whole rotational disk to SSD 2. Format rotational disk, make and mark a partition there, and move /boot/* content in that partition (not in a /boot subdir!) 3. Register that new boot partition to /etc/fstab to be mounted on /boot 4. From a chroot environment at SSD root with /boot mounted: grub-install to rotational disk update-grub Narcis Garcia El 4/4/21 a les 18:24, Chris Green ha escrit: > A friend (it really is a friend and not me) has an old[ish] system > running Ubuntu 18.04. > > It's all on a spinning hard disk at the moment but he has bought a new > SSD and wants to run off that.
