cp -a lost all the many
sub-volumes openSUSE likes to create. Trying a random btrfs-clone
failed and resulted in no content when default mounted - breaking boot,
necessitating live-USB key creation. Eventually dd followed by
re-sizing and btrfstune -u the device - finally it boots; what
a waste of time doing unwanted learning: and I thought the whole grub2 mess
was a pain. Someone needs to do a root-and-branch standardization and re-write
on the whole re-partitioning, booting, boot-loading, installation, piece of
Linux it seems with some easy-to-use tool to re-partition and/or add (and
remove) storage to/from your system.
My content in this blog and associated images / data under
images/ and data/ directories are (usually)
created by me and (unless obviously labelled otherwise) are licensed under
the public domain, and/or if that doesn't float your boat a CC0
license. I encourage linking back (of course) to help people decide for
themselves, in context, in the battle for ideas, and I love fixes /
improvements / corrections by private mail.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
