[Solved]Could a whole disk be added into a partition, another PC?
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2024 6:31 am
by keos
Hello,
I have already copied an MXLinux that I installed, on a whole disk in one PC, means without partitioning it, to a USB, and I need to know 'if it' (the USB) can be added to a partition into another PC.
With Gparted, it cannot be “pasted” and via the commands using 'dd' either, since I have to indicate the path where it goes and this should be “unassigned”, I suppose there must be some other way to do it, is this not possible?
Thanks.

This is not the QSI....
There's some approaches to copy a whole disk with or without partition table to another disk via dd. The gist of it is that the target block device has to be exactly the same size or larger to copy successfully. You can also copy block devices (disks or partitions) to (new) files within a filesystem instead of block devices. That's most useful for backups.
Can you post outputs of lsblk -f of both PCs and one with connected usb drive to show an overview of what's available?
Another question is what do you want to accomplish with the copy? Getting it to boot might involve additional steps.

First of all I want to make myself understood.
I have a complete system already copied to a USB, this system was installed on the entire disk of a PC.
Now I am going to add more memory to that PC (it has only 16GB) and later I'm going to make the partition the disk, so I need to know how I can, if it is possible, to add, to one of the partitions that I will create, 'what is' on the USB (the whole disk of that ...).
I don't want to confuse you by giving you information that may not be related to the matter at the moment. I need to know first if you understand what I intend to do because it may not be possible.
Thanks

Ok, so far so good. That's a full copy of the local disk including the partition table done by the likes of dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY

Memory has nothing to do with the disks/block devices, you can do that without changing any data.

Not sure what you mean by that tbh.

Ah, maybe this is the essential point that lends itself to confusion if I don't explain myself better; by having more memory in the PC I will be able to install other systems, “if,” I erase absolutely everything (that's why I copied the system to a USB)...
Then, I will do a new partitioning ... is it possible to install in one these new partitions that system that I have in the USB? -- I am afraid it is not possible, am I wrong?.

If you are talking about dual or multi booting, 16 GB of RAM is enough to run every OS, so that wouldn't really be necessary, but ok.
If you want to re-partition the PC's drive that's another story. Since you will be giving up space for new partitions, you will run out of space to copy the old partitions back from the usb stick afterwards. They'd have to be shrunk first which is a whole other task depending on available space and the file systems in use. I strongly recommend getting a bigger drive if that's what you're planning. This would have the advantage that you still had your old drive as additional backup.
An alternative approach would be to copy data from within the partitions of the usb stick to a newly created partition via a tool like rsync (-avx). I moved full (and running, but this might not be recommended) installations from HDD to SSD like that before. The caveat is that you have to adjust your fstab file within the copy afterwards and also install or update your bootloader manually in a chroot environment to make the new system bootable.

Yes, that's a SSD aka the disk. No RAM/memory. Make sure your system supports M.2 format before buying one.
If you want to boot different OS' and tinker with multiboot 120 GB is probably not enough, I'd recommend AT LEAST 240 GB, better more. Calculate about 40-50 GB per OS.

Well, it appeared that way until he posted his QSI

He even referred to it as "memory"....
But to wrap this up - yes, you will be able to copy your old system to the new 120 GB SSD. Just replace it, boot from a live system and dd the usb stick to the new drive. It will leave about 95 GB unpartitioned which then will be available for installing additional OS' or to increase the size of the small 15 GB partition you're currently using.
It should look something like that in gparted:

Ok, I think I understand, anyway, I still haven't received the device ... if I have any difficulties I will continue here with this thread...
-- if everything goes well I will mark it as solved by then.
Thanks!

In a nutshell:
For the system: MX Snapshot. Create an iso of the running system , boot with, then install on SSD. Can use Custom Install method and create some other (data etc.) partitions if you like.
Or:
On GParted "copy-paste" the partitions one by one. The SSD needs to be "unallocated space". Copy the partition, Change device (to ssd) then paste, Apply. That's it.

Ok, I already did the replacement of that part, but the installed system just disappeared, now only the new memory appears in Gparted, I think it's like 112GB.
Then I partition the disk...
It seems to me that I should insert a live-USB + the recovered-USB system in another port and apply:
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY
Where X is the recovered system and Y the partition where it will 'go in'
Is this correct...?

This is what I did, I want MX on partition # 5

You really need to differentiate between the term memory (which is RAM and does NOT show in gparted) and storage space (which is a hard drive that shows up in gparted).

I went back to the Gparted option that I always use to solve all these issues, it is an extraordinary tool.!
All I did was to unmount the partition were MX was installed on the USB, copy it and go to the system and paste it... just 10 mts!

I actually didn't know about gparted's ability to copy-paste whole partitions, that's cool.

It's great, especially for one who is not an expert in these matters, and yes, It could do many other things, but we have to be very careful not to make a mistake because it is a very powerful tool.
Now I'm trying to see how could copy just the 'Home' and to take it later to an USB but I can't find the solution for the moment, well maybe it ... another thread ...
thanks,
