Since this is so far OT we may as well have a smile:<br>
This guy says “I prayed for a bicycle, but nothing happened”. “ then I realized it does not work like this, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness”.<br>
So it is with rsync. (It does not work like. this)<br>
One *can* fiddle with grub and /etc/fstab, but it will probably take long and be painfull. (eg do you have an EFI bios)<br>
<br>
your easiest option is<br>
<br>
1) boot the bad disk<br>
2) run <a href="http://mythconverg_backup.pl" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">mythconverg_backup.pl</a> If you’ve not used it before 5 min reading is needed. Save the backup.<br>
3) install the new disk<br>
4) install the os, or a newer version if you want to.<br>
5) install mythtv, mariadb, apache2 and php if you want mythweb<br>
6) mount the old disk and copy all the. files you want, specially art and ts files from myth-place-you-choose<br>
7) run <a href="http://mythconverg_restore.pl" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">mythconverg_restore.pl</a><br>
8) if you do not have same hostname and IP addr then more reading is needed.<br>
