How clone HDD for NethServer?

Well, mission accomplished.
Three tools used:

  • Clonezilla: after shutdown and connect the new disk, I boot from Clonezilla to clone the existing drive to the empty one
  • gParted: i shut down again the server, detached the old drive then booted a live distro with gParted, which allowed extension of XFS partition to fit size of the disk
  • Cockpit: from storage manager of cockpit, i was able to extend the size of LVM to fit XFS partition on live use of the server. Unfortunately, xfs do not allow shrinking :frowning:

As usual, there’s more way to do that.
So… ideas and experiences are welcome.
