I'd like to clone an debian 8 OS hdd drive to an ssd, what's the best way to do it?
realies 2017-01-30 22:53:39
and can the cloning happen meanwhile the os is running?
realies 2017-01-30 22:53:41
from it

realies: partition it and run rsync? then run grub-install
bolt 2017-01-30 23:11:18
realies: you can most likely do that while it's running, but any files being written to while you do so would be in an inconsistent state
bolt 2017-01-30 23:11:55
realies: not a good way to copy logfiles, email storage and similar if you want to make sure they're readable afterwards
realies 2017-01-30 23:11:56
bolt, if I do an install to the ssd an then run rsync, would I still need the grub-install?
bolt 2017-01-30 23:12:14
realies: grub is not installed on the file system
bolt 2017-01-30 23:12:39
rsync would not sync installed bootloaders
phorce1 2017-01-30 23:14:00
realies: regardless of how you move the files you should boot from a live CD to do that part. Don't try while running from the hard drive
realies 2017-01-30 23:15:50
I'm sure I can run a live distro to do that, but I'm afraid I can mess things up

why was retroarch removed from the repos? Or is it in another repo?
phorce1 2017-01-30 23:39:38
realies: So long as you don't use any commands that delete from the original hard drive it doesn't matter if you mess up. Just do it again until you get it right.

How may I check the contents of partitions during the install? I try 'mkdir /media/something' then 'mount /dev/sda1 /media/something/' in the shell and it says "invalid argument"
noc_ 2017-01-30 23:44:38
contrapunctus, dmesg | tail
noc_ 2017-01-30 23:45:11
blkid /dev/sda1
jelly 2017-01-30 23:45:13
contrapunctus: output of lsblk or blkid, whichever exists in installer's shell
