| Oct 12, 2016 at 17:41 | comment | added | X14U2NVX | ah, makes sense. Ah, one last thing. Had to update /etc/fstab (as I was copying over it and forgot it wasn't in /boot) | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 17:03 | comment | added | derobert | @X14U2NVX no, no need to zero it, unless you need to erase old data on it (e.g., for security reasons). If its a new disk, it shipped zero'd anyway. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 17:01 | comment | added | X14U2NVX | Great advice! Do you think I should zero the rest of the drive (since my new md1 is considerably larger than sda(2/5)? | |

@X14U2NVX Just remember an important thing about dd: it's way too easy to get if and of confused. Make sure to check thrice before hitting enter. (And of course, always have backups).

| Oct 12, 2016 at 16:22 | comment | added | X14U2NVX | Thank you for the advice! My supervisor doesn't want to run the copy live (in case something goes wrong), so I'll probably be sticking to dd with a live disk. I'd completely forgotten about updating initramfs though, so good call there! | |
