[SOLVED] Transfer to disk script

business_kid · 09-30-2023, 04:28 AM

I have the following setup and I'm looking at your transfer to disk script

Code:

Device     Boot    Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1           2048    616447    614400   300M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2         616448  53045247  52428800    25G 83 Linux
/dev/sda3       53045248 468862123 415816876 198.3G 83 Linux
dec@SparrowFart:~$

Will I be able to hold onto the contents of sda3 if I run 'transfer to disk,' which is mounted on /home, or would sda3 be overwritten? I can back up other sections I want.

The transfer script deletes everything from the disk and transfers the data.

For raspberry pi this script is not particularly important, since the bootloader itself is not written, it is important that the first partition is the fat where the kernel and boot files will be located.

So, I won't be able top hold on to /home. OK, other means, then.
