Sounds good. You may want to arrange for the filesystems on your new

It does seem there's lots of cheap implementations, probably based on a
few poor controller chips, that work fine for 99·99…% of

Good, so you're back to your old system that's 70% full, good enough
except for running VMs, and no harm done?

Glad it's working.
If you new drive is bigger than the old one, you could do Clonezilla
device-to-device cloning, or use DD to copy directly from the old to the

Hi,
The drive containing my Home directory on my desktop filled up and despite some

I purchased a shiny new SSD (1TB) and using Partition Magic I cloned the old
drive to another Spinning Rust Drive in a US
