Ole 想要将他的 Linux 系统和文件从一个硬盘驱动器移动到另一个硬盘驱动器，而无需重新安装操作系统并保留现有的分区系统。Mikah Sargent 提供了三种解决方案：使用 dd 命令（也称为 disk dump 或 disk destroyer），但警告说它非常强大且容易出错，使用后需要调整分区大小；使用 rsync 命令，这更安全，但需要在新驱动器上手动创建分区并重新安装引导加载程序；以及使用 Clonezilla，这是一个用户友好的磁盘克隆工具，可以克隆磁盘并在之后调整分区大小。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Mikah discusses various methods to move a Linux system and files to a new drive without reinstalling the OS, including using dd, rsync, and Clonezilla.
  • dd (disk dump) is powerful but risky and requires backups.
  • rsync is safer but more involved, requiring partitioning and formatting.
  • Clonezilla is user-friendly and can be booted from a USB drive.

Shownotes Transcript

On Hands-On Tech, Mikah answers questions such as about a feature in Linux that can allow you to cut and paste your entire drive, about passkeys and multiple accounts on the same website, and Mikah helps a listener with the process of transferring from working on a Windows machine to a Mac mini.

  • Ole is looking for a feature that would allow him to move his Linux system and files from one drive to another without having to reinstall the operating system.

  • Kevin is wondering if you can log into a website using passkeys if you have multiple accounts on that website.

  • Gary has a follow-up to Mark's question about Kindle Sync from last week that could be useful for them.

  • Ronald is planning to switch from his Dell Windows 10 computer to the new M4 Mac mini and has a slew of questions about when he will make the switch, from which Mac mini configuration he should go with, to using external drives with the computer, and which Thunderbolt hub Mikah recommends as well.

  • And Stephen provides a follow-up on the question about smartphone hotspots from a few episodes ago, involving Jon's problem getting older hardware to connect to his iPhone hotspot.
