I won't give up on LVM yet, it's a very useful technology to have and use (snapshots is one of them), you can create the same base layout on the new disk with /boot and LVM/VG for the rest of the disk and then use `dd` to clone the content from one partition/lvm to another.
if you need more details for how to do it, just let me know, i will be happy to help. -- Rabin On Sun, 18 Nov 2018 at 20:14, Geoffrey Mendelson < geoffreymendel...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have an Ubuntu 15.10 system.
