I tried to clone the windows files from /windows/C on a 128GB SSD, NTFS filesystem to a 256GB SSD, which was formatted NTFS on a SATA<->USB Adapter, via rsync. That was ok, but when I list the files I get /media/M4SSD256/Windows/SysWOW64/config/systemprofile/Vorlagen -> /windows/C/.NTFS-3G/C:/Windows/System32/config/systemprofile/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Templates What is this ".NTFS-3G"? Does the NTFS driver for SuSE 12.1 create some intermediate directories? (the 128GB SSD works ok all the time). I did not replace the 128GB with the 256GB up to now...

I would not copy a windows installation on a file basis. The copied OS usually wouldn't boot from that new media; probably because of some ACLs missing, probably because the files are on a different place in the new file system. I'd clone the whole file system via dd(1), and then either use the 2nd half of the new, bigger disk in a separate partition, or by enlarging the NTFS file system to use the whole space in that disk/partition.

ntfs-3g creates those directories.. ntfs 3g is the current implementation of the windows ntfs filesystem.. it is implemented in userspace as a regular program instead of as a traditional in-kernel module. (the "ntfs" kernel modulesupported old ntfs versions and only allowed read-only access and is no longer distributed) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
