→‎Copy a root filesystem from one disk to another

''If you use the NAND flash as swap you will lose this ability.''

~~{{Code|~~ cfdisk /dev/mtdblock2}}

* Create a "Linux swap / Solaris" partition that takes all the space:

# remove any existing partitions, if any

# select Write option

# select Quit option

~~{{Code|~~ mkswap /dev/mtdblock2 echo "/dev/mtdblock2 swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab swapon -a}}

== Copy a root filesystem from one disk to another ==

The code below assumes the old (usb) disk is at /dev/sdb1 and the new (internal) disk is at /dev/sda1. Substitute accordingly

~~{{Code|~~ # /dev/sda1 is the target filesystem; must have an empty filesystem on it mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mkdir /mnt2 # /dev/sdb2 is the source filesystem mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt2 cd /mnt2 cp -ar * /mnt}}
