Hello, I did follow for the 4th times the Chris's recommendations: mount /dev/mapper/root1 /mnt/linux1 -o ro mount /dev/mapper/root2 /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/* /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/.readahead /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/boot /mnt/linux2 (I did not have a rsync command on the gparted live distribution that I have) mount -B /run /mnt/linux2/run mount -B /proc /mnt/linux2/proc mount -B /dev /mnt/linux2/dev mount -B /sys /mnt/linux2/sys chroot /mnt/linux2 vi /etc/fstab (to change to the new partitions labelling) dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE.img grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Then I modify the original /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to get the booting on the clone without modifying the mbr (grub2-install) And I get always the same behavior: failed to start ....... create static device modes in /dev journal service open pack file: permission denied In my opinion, I need to do something else, but what?

You used cp /dev/sda /dev/sdb? Device to device? Or you specified directories to copy? I've had cp -a of directories not work, in particular it misses hidden files unless you explicitly copy them. I've had better luck with rsync. And I've had impressively good luck with btrfs send/receive, that's a cake walk, and fast. > > Chris Murphy > > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
