I'm planning on upgrading the 120GB OS SSD in our KODI server to a<br>
500GB+ SSD. Can I simply using Clonezilla and Gparted to clone and<br>
resize the data or will I have to do some grub magic? (I assume I will<br>
because of the UUID system)<br>

The long version:<br>
<br>
I want to upgrade the 120GB SSD in our KODI server to a 500GB+ SSD.<br>
120GB was good when we were only scraping movie data, but now we've<br>
started using it for Steam and some of those Steam games take more<br>
than 60% of the current SSD. We don't want to move the /home folder to<br>
the spinning rust drive.<br>
<br>
One problem that prevents us from simply doing a fresh install of the<br>
latest Xubuntu and copying over is the fact that lirc is broken in<br>
18.04. When I did the upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 on our current box I<br>
held back the lirc package so our remotes would continue to work. I<br>
could reinstall 16.04 and do the same upgrade-hold-back process for<br>
18.04.<br>
<br>
I don't really want to add the 500GB as a slave to the 120GB (keeping<br>
things simple).<br>
<br>
Has anyone cloned SSD to SSD or does everyone mostly backup and reinstall?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
