So, I’m trying to clone an SSD to an NVME drive and I’m bumping into this “dev-disk-by” error when I boot from the NVME (the SSD is unplugged).

I can’t find anyone talking about this in this context. It seems like what I’ve done here should be fine and should work, but there’s clearly something I and the arch wiki are missing.

    I know it’s not what you meant, but I just imagined someone typing in “pretend you are a disk cloning utility and output the code needed to clone /dev/disk0 to /dev/disk1 in as efficient a manner as possible.”

    Seems to me that using rdisk would be significantly faster than disk, as disk pipes all the data through a superfluous serial channel?

      What does that have to do with any of this?

      Are you just trying to start a whimsical side conversation?

        Your title mentioned GPT as in the partition table. The other user thought about ChatGPT.

          Thanks for translating … my brain is completely fried from fighting with this.
