Swapping out an old 2TB pcie 3 drive for a newer 2TB pcie 4 drive.
I was leaning towards using dd, after shrinking the partition on the source drive so it doesn’t also ‘copy’ all the empty space.
Have you done this recently? What was your method?
Or is there a CachyOS/kde tool I may be unaware of?


I have a bunch of scripts to install my systems. Anything important is already backed up to my storage system.
Do you use any fancy tools like Ansible or just a series of bash scripts?
For my laptop and desktop, it’s just a bash script. For my home-lab, it’s a config-management system that I built using bash scripts.
