Nostr Web Client

I need to upgrade the hard drive on my start 9from 1TB -> 2TB but I don’t want to backup and restore because it’ll close my lightning channels..

Can I use a copier like SuperDuper! On Mac and physically clone all data from the 1TB to the 2TB drive (with the node shut down) and drive unmounted; without screwing myself??

If you are less comfortable with command line: clonezilla.

Otherwise: dd

Clone the drive:

Use dd to clone the 1 TB drive to the 2 TB drive. The basic command is:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

Resize the filesystem:

After cloning, you'll need to resize the filesystem to take advantage of the extra space on the 2 TB drive. You can use a tool like resize2fs (for ext2/3/4 filesystems) or xfs_growfs (for XFS filesystems) to do this.
