I plan to add a 120G SDD
to install the OS on the SDD and keep /Shared_Media's partition on the HDD.
Eventually I want to convert it to a Raid 1 sysyem. My idea is to copy
/Shared media to a new disk, in a degenerate Raid and then repartition
the original HDD and add it to the Raid.
My question is how to pass the OS to the SSD? I know the easiest way is
just install on the SSD from a USB and then add the /Shared_Media to
the file system.
But I wanted to use this as a learning/game up skills opportunity.
Is there an easy way to transfer the OS with the current software load
and customizations (/etc/*)?
The / partition is smaller than the SSD, so just boot a live image and
use gparted to copy the partitions from the hard drive to the SSD. You
can copy all the partitions except the media one. You will have extra
space on the SSD so you could also resize the / partition if you want it
to be bigger now or you could make a /home partition or whatever.
You might need to convince the EFI system that it should use the new
hard drive though.
Is it wise nowadays to create a swap partition on the SSD? It is a M.2

I haven't found it to be a problem. There's currently a big discussion
on the -devel list about zram. If you enable that, you might not even
need the swap at all.
