How To Clone and Resize Luks-Encrypted Fedora System

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am looking for a way to clone and resize a Fedora 12 x86_64 system to a new hard drive which provides a lot more capacity. The system I wish to clone is encrypted with luks. I basically need to move the whole system to a larger drive, then resize the partitions larger. These are ext4 partitions. Here is what my grub.conf kernel line says:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_deafeng298-lv_root_deafeng298  LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us

Is there a procedure available for doing this?

What if I just cloned the existing drive to the new drive using RIPLinux and ddrescue, then attempted to resize the clone's partitions? I'm fuzzy about how to do this. Or perhaps use a Fedora Live DVD and ddrescue?

Thanks!
