Hello,
I want to migrate my current OpenBSD 5.4 installation to an SSD, which is
slightly larger than my present rotational drive.
What are people's suggestions for doing this? I was thinking of DDing and
increasing the size of /home and /usr/local, but surely there's a better
way?
When moving to a different disk, I usually just do a basic install of
the same OS version (and backup/restore software if not using something
in base) on the new disk with appropriate partition sizes, then restore
from backups.
dd is the wrong tool for this job. Even if you didn't want to change
partition sizes I think dd would be the wrong tool.
but dump and restore on per filesystem basis would suffice
Also, are there any /etc/fstab options recommended for SSDs?
No need to fiddle, the defaults are fine.
