This is prob’ly more of a Debian question, however, since OSMC seems to be intimately tied in, thought I’d start here.
Running latest OSMC on RPI 3. Set up to boot from uSD and run from a Hitachi 3.5" HDD. I’m now thinking of replacing the 3.5" w/a 2.5" HDD. Is there an easy (hopefully), straightforward way to do this? Or will I need to essentially start from scratch with the new HDD?
Thx in advance…
You probably have three main option
1, reinstall from scratch and do everything again yourself
2, take a backup, reinstall from scratch and then restore your backup
3, clone your hard drive to the new hard drive
For me, option 1 is the most straight forward but I have hardly any addons and very little in the way of customisation.
Attach new & old HDD to a linux box.
Format new HDD
rsync from old to new
Install new drive in Pi
Profit!
