For a while now I have an issue where backups of 2 out of 5 VM's are failing with the "job failed with err -61 - No data available" error (strangely enough they do still run without any issue). After some searching on the forums I found out and confirmed that my Samsung 980Pro is starting to fail on me. Hence I bought a new 990Pro to replace it with. The issue is that the NUC I'm using only has 1 M2 slot so I have to resort to putting the 990Pro in a usb case and clone the old one to it that way.
I then connected the USB case to my NUC, used a gparted live usb to boot from and ran the following dd command:
The "conv=noerror" param is because of the issues of the failing source ssd it otherwise would stop at the errors it found.
Here's a picture I took of the finished process, and as you cans ee there are some "input/output errors" as expected:
I was hoping they wouldn't be a major issue. When I swap the SSD's in the NUC however I always get the "grub rescue" screen with the following message:
I tried solving it by following a few posts/threads I found, however most seem to be related to another "disk not found" error. The only topic that seems to be similar is this one but I wasn't able to find a proper solution in it (except for the link to a blog post to move the boot to a usb, which I prefer not to do).
I know I did something similar on the same NUC a few years ago when I went from a 1TB SSD to the current 2TB one, and it worked quite easily with a similar process (additionally had to change the partition size).
Anyone got some tips on how I could make the cloned SSD work? I'm running out of options of things I found and tried out (or run into another error while doing so). Of course let me know if there's any more information you want me to give, or things I should provide.
Many thanks in advance.
