<slight rant> when i was doing the previously mentioned swap from a failing MBR drive to a larger GPT drive, i thought there would be documentation -- instructions -- as to how it can be done. searched and searched. found people crowing how they had done it with dual boot, or with an lvm setup, all mine's-bigger-than-yours stuff, but no simple instructions on how to make the swap without losing data. as a result, what should have taken half a day took almost three. annoying as all get out. then again, the reason i didn't want to do a new install was all the tweaks and fiddling i'd done over the years without bothering to document any of it, so . . . </slight rant>
