I’m giving up on my dd attempt and trying clonezilla (a highly regarded option it seems).
But yeah, welcome to exactly what’s driving me crazy. The dd “worked”, grub loads, it starts loading Linux … and then it gets caught trying to find… itself (?)
Like the exact drive that’s missing is the drive it would have to find to even be partially operational. The other drives weren’t touched and the original drive is unplugged.
There is a btrfs subvolume and they’re both part of the same drive … but it was also copied bit for bit.
IDK… We’ll see whether clonezilla works. I’ve been using Linux over ten years, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this confused.
