Another thing is I bought a 2G uSD and I want to move my debian system to that card. If I manually partition it (8MB fat and rest ext2) and just copy contents of 512M, would it work? Or maybe i can copy an image using dd and then somehow resize the partition. Anyone tried migrating from

I usually do cp -ax ... with success. I've cloned entire operating systems like this in the past without problems. Haven't tried with OM yet, but it worked with a couple of Ubuntu installations. Takes a long time, though... ;) Obviously, you preferably do it with the filesystem offline...

I can use two card readers, no problem. would you suggest me tar /dev/sdb2 and untar it into /dev/sdc2? Or is 'dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc' better On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 1:15 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I usually do cp -ax ... with success. I've cloned entire operating systems like this in

I did dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=/dev/sdf2 and it booted but i still have a problem. sdb was a 512M card and sdf is 2G. After copying, my pc sees it as 2G but FR sees it as 512M. Runing some partition software now(testdisk). On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Nicola Mfb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2008/10/1

A consistency check with fdisk yielded that the size of the partition and the size of the filesystem do not match, and advised me to run e2fsck. e2fsck said there are no problems. I ran fdisk and e2fsck on FR-debian. gparted on my py sees the partition as 2GB. darn it. On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 5:39
