Hello, I currently have a Lenovo T480 with 240GB Toshiba 2242 M2 SSD and 2" WS Blue.
I will be replacing the Toshiba 240GB to a WD Blue 512GB. These are the existing partitions:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 OpenSUSE EFI
/dev/nvme0n1p2 Windows EFI
/dev/nvme0n1p3 MS Misc.
/dev/nvme0n1p4 MS C:
/dev/nvme0n1p5 MS Recovery environment
/dev/nvme0n1p6 OpenSUSE /
/dev/sda1 W10 dedicated
/dev/sda2 Shared NTFS data partition
/dev/sda3 OpenSUSE /home
I am planning to clone Toshiba 240GB to WD Blue 512GB. After the cloning I have some operations to do:
1. Move OpenSUSE / to near the end of the drive ().
2. Remove MS Recovery environment then enlarge the MS C: using Windows partition manager (this I am familiar with).
So the partition table should look like this:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 OpenSUSE EFI
/dev/nvme0n1p2 Windows EFI
/dev/nvme0n1p3 MS Misc.
/dev/nvme0n1p4 MS C:
/dev/nvme0n1p5 Opensuse /
Now, I am wondering exactly in which order and what to use for this operation. The cloning I am quite familar with (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...-size-using-dd), but moving the OpenSUSE root partition to closer to the end of the SSD, I am not.
I am looking at gParted and OpenSUSE partitioner.
Partitioner returns an error "The partition ... is already created on disk and cannot be moved".
GParted only gives me the option to resize but not move.
Any suggestions?
