How to copy my system hdd usb stick from 4GB to 8GB ?
Hi,
my router is my Linux embedded device.
I have system installed on HDD 4GB usb stick, part1 swap, part2 /opt , part3 data.
I need to copy my system to new HDD 8GB usb stick.
What is a way for 4GB > 4GB HDD
and what for 4GB > 8GB
As I remeber, I can copy image of my 4GB HDD usb stick to a new one
Am I right, I need to format my 8GB HDD usb stick part1 swap, part2 /opt
part3 larger one, or part2 larger too
and I can use move command - mv
to move /opt from HDD 1 to /opt on HDD 2 ?
Please let me know what procedure should I follow,
as my friend lost his HDD stick due worn-out swap partition.
thanks
Jack

usb-devices
usb-devices(1) Linux USB Utilities usb-devices(1)
NAME
usb-devices - print USB device details
SYNOPSIS
usb-devices
DESCRIPTION
usb-devices is a (bash) shell script that can be used to display details of USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
The output of the script is similar to the usb/devices file available either under /proc/bus (if usbfs is mounted), or under /sys/ker-
nel/debug (if debugfs is mounted there). The script is primarily intended to be used if the file is not available.
In contrast to the usb/devices file, this script only lists active interfaces (those marked with a "*" in the usb/devices file) and their
endpoints.
Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is sorted, as well as in the format of the output.
RETURN VALUE
If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned.
FILES
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*
The part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the printed information.
/proc/bus/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted.
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.
