Good idea. Haven’t booted mine in years either.

I wiped my Windows SSD after over half a year of not booting into it at all. I do not miss it, but I do greatly appreciate a larger /home partition spanning an entire 1 TB SSD (for reasons of buying at various times for projects that didn’t need a lot of storage, I have 3 1 TB SSDs lol). Now to figure out how to enlarge the / partition with btrfs.

Look at this guy using btrfs like a normal chump. Real men yolo XFS with no backup and spam duperemove for the 10% faster performance.
Now to run xfs_repair real quick after my power outage…

Wouldn’t it be easier to clone your partition to another SSD but have it already be the full SSD size? I remember looking into something like that and cloning looked easier, but I was looking through the windows side, Linux probably has various ways to do it

I moved the home directory to the empty SSD, but still needed to resize the root partition in place. Wasn’t difficult actually, but for some reason it errored on me the first time, the second time I could just do it in place without even rebooting.

Btrfs makes it really easy to enlarge a partition. You don’t even have to reboot.
