Hi Folks I need to move to a larger hard drive :-)) I keep a clone of my base install just in case as this is my business computer and I cannot be Down for too long. I have an rsynce home back-up to an external drive on a daily basis so good there I think. My question then is, because my OS is an encrypted LVM will it clone to a larger drive (and use the whole new drive) without having to put mokeyjunk all over it first ?
