[solved] How to move existing LM19 root partition to new SSD and boot

Post by sango »

I am booting my machine through UEFI
this machine has 3 partition
sda1 which is 100 MB of type vfat its a GPT partition.
sda2 is a swap partition 8 GB
sda2 50GB type ext4 for root (/)
sda3 900GB type ext4 for home partition

Recently bought a 120GB M.2 SSD
I intend to move my root partition on SSD to reduce Boot time and boot through it.

How to do it and do i have to move my GPT partition too to new SSD?

Thanks in advance :-)

Hmmmm ... I think I'd just do a clean install on the new SSD, then restore from a TimeShift backup. Then use the whole 1TB as /home via SYMLINK. Sounds way cleaner to me.
