If the old predates 4k sectors internally while the new is as most from the past 3 years with 4k internally, you probably should not to create a new clone, but instead configure the new normally, format the filesystems, and use

or copy from old to new. Performance could noticeably suffer if you do a true clone from a 512 byte to a 4k sector HD.
Hmm...,
I knew there was going to be a fly in this ointment somewhere. The old is indeed 512:
lsblk -o NAME,PHY-SeC NAME PHY-SEC sda 512 ├─sda1 512 ├─sda2 512 ├─sda3 512 ├─sda5 512 ├─sda6 512 └─sda7 512 sr0 512
None of that matters. What matters is the partition start sectors. With 512 byte sectors on modern disks it doesn't matter at all where the partitions start. With 4kb.sectors, it is important that the partitions start on 4kb boundaries. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
