Odhiambo Washington asks: > I have a 1TB disk, with UFS fs. > I'd like to migrate to a 2TB SSD and retire/repurpose the 1TB disk. [deletia] > What is the easiest/best method to migrate? What I would do: 1) Put the new disk in an external drive dock. 2) Format/label the new disk. 3) Use dump/restore to transfer the contents; check for integrity. 4) Unmount the new disk; shutdown computer; swap disks; boot. Anyone got a better plan? Respectfully, Robert Huff
