There are quite a few: You are right and wrong cp -a copies all the hidden files located inside the sub-directories recursively (I checked on that). The thing that if does not is copy the hidden file located right in /mnt/linux. It is why I copies the only file which is concerned (.readahead) IE, that doing rsync -avAHX source/ destination is not going to help I would have done it if gparted live was offering this option There is something else to fix. I cannot guess what is it!

You can create a snapshot of an existing LV and just use that as your new root. No copying. And it saves space because the snapshot uses the extents of the original (without changing them, changes cause new extents to be created that apply only to the snapshot). Basically the snapshot becomes a new LV. > > 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?
