Hello all,
I have what is probably more of a hardware-related question for the RasPi4 that I run my Syncthing “server” on…
My RasPi4 is currently set up with a USB-to-SATA3 adapter connected to a 120GB SATA SSD. It is also configured to BOOT from this SSD. I am finding that I am running low on storage space, so I was planning to buy a larger SATA SSD to use for this setup, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to best clone the existing SSD to a new one and still be able to boot from it?
It has been quite some time since I set up the boot process with this SSD (originally it would use the SD card as the boot device (prior to the firmware supporting and SSD-only boot configuration). I recall having to configure things to modify a few files with to point to a modified UUID (I think that is the correct acronym at least). So I am wondering if I just use cloning software (like Macrium Reflect on my windows PC), will it preserve the links described above? I need to go back and find the guide I used for configuring the boot from SSD option, and also confirm whether I would need to modify anything that is on the SD card to make this work.
So was just wondering if anyone out there had attempted this with a Pi that was running syncthing (and if Syncthing would have any issues after an SSD clone like this)…
Thanks!
