Terry,
Some comments, sure to stir up trouble:
Well, not trouble so much as perhaps more confusion. I am comfortable with the partitioning scheme I described and was looking for confirmation on the correct steps to move my system to the SSD. I guess you feel there is a better way of doing it, but now I just have a whole new lot of stuff to try to come to grips with.
Yes, but that's often the case with IT .... you have to keep learning.
Yes, it's the case with everything...but more so with IT it seems. I've been learning this stuff for about 47 years now! I don't mind being advised to do something differently, but just occasionally it would be nice if someone answered the original question so that I can learn a bit more about that as well :-)
Using LVM with RAID1 is my preference, but LVM without RAID1 is still good and well worth getting your head around.
I may well have to try to understand how my problem can be solved using LVM, because attempting to do it via all the available advice (on the web) thus far has proven to be unsatisfactory. Attempts to use standard partitioning of the SSD, rsync my system and data files across, adjust my /etc/fstab, results in never getting any further than the login prompt when booting into the SSD. The login prompt keeps returning. Searches for what might be causing that haven't resulted in any useful advice. I also had advice to do a clean install then copy files to SSD, but that has the same result. I suspect that there must be a file or files, other than /etc/fstab, that have stuff relating to the old disc, and if this is the case is moving a volume group going to have the same problem?
