It is lvm2. Thank you for the recommendation! I'll check it out though I think I'm going to stick to the CLI for this one. I kind of want to do it manually.

I do plan to work from a bootsble USB for all the dd work so that nothing is mounted/in use.

Thanks. I’ll stick with dd then. You are correct, I think. I plan to dd the whole disk. The plan is:

dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync

unless that's the wrong idea. once the usb ssd is done I will definitely check the luks container on the ssd. Size and data availability.

I'll take a look at pvmove.

I can't have both installed. Plan is to dd the 128 nvme to a USB SSD I have, then dd the SSD to the 512 once it's installed in the laptop. All the xloning will be done by booting a USB ISO so no drives are in active use while being cloned.

No joke! I plan to quadruple check before I hit enter.

That I didn’t know. Thank you!

Thank you for the link! I’ll check those out.

Haha. Next time we’ll make a plain cheesecake.

I’ve been using these VGO gloves from Amazon. They’re the best I’ve found so far, but that’s not an endorsement from me, more the best of a bunch of crappy choices.

I got pretty upset when I took a chance on a $25 pair of what were supposed to be heavy duty Milwaukee work gloves that didn’t last a week.

I’d be interested in those Mechanix gloves if you don’t mind sharing a link

Yeah, in the past it’s been really frustrating. There was one time I couldn’t log in no matter what I tried. I hadn’t updated the NPM container or anything. It just shit the bed. At the time I wasn’t confident enough to switch away from NPM. I had to completely rebuild my proxy setup. Deleted the NPM container and persistent data, spun up a brand new container, then set back up all of my reverse proxies.

That was the last time I’ve had a problem with NPM, but I also don’t really trust it anymore. I’ve stuck with it due to momentum, but I’m always worried about it breaking for no reason.

Probably going to make this a weekend project soon.

I think I'm gonna take a much more serious look at caddy.

That's really nice. Dang. I'm going to take a serious look at caddy. NPM has been working without issues lately, but I'm not looking forward to the next time it breaks on me.
