You might be better off using dump(8) and restore(8) to copy and
restore the disk partitions. Dump will preserve the information
you need and then restore will allow it to use the new larget
partition cleanly. Some of your other cloning software (I don't
know about Clonezilla) including dd(1) will try to duplicate the
space as it was on the old partitions and not use the new space.
So dump the partitions
redo the partitions
restore in to the new partitions
If you are changing root (/) and/or /boot you have to build a minimal
bootable system on it/them. But, really root and /boot do not need
to be very large if you put growing stuff in its own partitions
such as /home, /usr, /var.
