This is directed to all of you gurus who replied to Meino's post:
Meino's unstated assumption is that his new (larger) disk is already formatted
(possibly partitioned?) before he copies the existing filesystem to it.
IIUC the new disk will then be unbootable until grub or equivalent is installed
on the new disk. Does this seem correct, or not?
My instinct is to use dd to duplicate the entire old disk to the new (unformatted)
disk and then use gparted to twiddle it from there. (But I do love a puzzle ;o)
