Sort of... - You don't have to copy the whole root filesystem over. You can mount the new drive as /home or /home/user only, and then copy over only that directory. - Or, if you're using mdraid or btrfs, then you can add the new drive using 'mdadm' or 'btrfs'. -- William On Sat, Apr 09, 2016 at 11:51:58AM -0400, phiscock@ee.ryerson.ca wrote:
The time is coming when I will have to increase my hard drive storage. I could backup, replace the current drive with something larger, and then copy the backup to the new, larger drive.
Or I could add a second SATA drive. Is it possible to configure that second drive so that it seamlessly appears as an increase of size of the first drive?
