Drive Selection Reference
Based on your system screenshots, here's the correct drive mapping:
Current System Layout (from screenshots):
Available Drives:
-
/dev/nvme0n1- 476.9G KXG6AZNV512G TOSHIBA- ✅ INTERNAL DRIVE (source)
- This is your current system with:
- nvme0n1p1: 58GB Linux filesystem (root)
- nvme0n1p2: 512MB EFI system
- nvme0n1p3: 417GB Linux filesystem (home)
-
/dev/sda- 476.9G Tech JMicron- ✅ EXTERNAL M.2 SSD (target)
- This should be selected as migration TARGET
- Will be completely wiped and converted to LVM
-
/dev/sdb- 119.3G Extreme Pro SanDisk- 🔧 USB STICK (migration tools)
- This USB stick with the migration tools
- Should NOT be selected for migration
Correct Migration Configuration:
Source (Internal): /dev/nvme0n1 → Target (External): /dev/sda
What the Enhanced Script Now Does:
- Excludes USB stick - Won't offer /dev/sdb as an option
- Shows drive details - Displays size, model, USB detection
- Suggests configuration:
- Internal: /dev/nvme0n1 (NVMe drives are typically internal)
- External: /dev/sda (USB-connected drives are typically external)
- User confirmation - Asks you to confirm before proceeding
- Final safety check - Shows exactly what will be wiped
- Type 'YES' confirmation - Prevents accidental data loss
Migration Process:
- Boot from USB (/dev/sdb)
- Run migration script
- Script will suggest:
- Internal: /dev/nvme0n1 (476.9G TOSHIBA)
- External: /dev/sda (476.9G JMicron)
- Confirm selection
- Type 'YES' to proceed
This should prevent the wrong drive selection issue you encountered!
