So I’ve noticed the PiHole being a little bogged down as of late. I’m only running it on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ at the moment so I know I am a little limited as to the performance…but as I have a couple of background projects I want to tackle this year, I thought I would take the oppotunity to replace the SD card with an NVME SSD drive (only about 5000 times faster).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall it was a pretty painless process…the big part was realizing that it takes 5-10 seconds for the USB to recognize the booth drive…but then it’s *BOOM* and we are back up and running almost instantly (pretty impressive actually).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The drive went together without a hitch, and was recognized and everything…but then…ROADBLOCK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I boot off of an SD card…how do I image that to the NVME drive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully someone else ran into this same issue and wrote a script\/small app to resolve this very issue…and DAMN is it easy and impressive. With a small installation and a simple command of…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ rpi-clone sda<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nI was up and running with no issues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a Raspberry Pi:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\t$ git clone https:\/\/github.com\/billw2\/rpi-clone.git \n\t$ cd rpi-clone\n\t$ sudo cp rpi-clone rpi-clone-setup \/usr\/local\/sbin\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nMake sure \/usr\/local\/sbin is in your $PATH and then run rpi-clone or rpi-clone-setup with no args to print usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rpi-clone-setup is for setting the hostname in \/etc\/hostname and \/etc\/hosts files. It is run automatically by rpi-clone if -s args are given, but before your first clone using a -s option, test run rpi-clone-setup with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo rpi-clone-setup -t testhostname\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAnd check the files under \/tmp\/clone-test to be sure the files have been edited correctly. If you need additional customizations to a clone, add them to the rpi-clone-setup script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
