I have Debian server with multiple HDDs. /, /home/, swap and others are LVM Logical Volumes. /boot is on a small partition at the beginning of one of the physical HDDs. fstab uses UUID for /boot and /dev/mapper/ for the rest.

I want to move the root / and /boot partition to my new SSD.

My idea is to create the same small partition on the SSD and use dd to copy it over. Then I will mount the new boot partition (live distro probably necessary) and run grub-install? Also, update UUID of the new /boot.

The rest of the SSD will be LVM partition. If I add it to the same VG I can migrate it by forcing PV to the LV AFAIK.

Will it work? Is there a better way?

Edit: I am using BIOS boot.

badluck
