A while back I cloned my HD to a larger HD using dd and the advice
of all the great guys on this list. It worked perfectly and after
the cloning I booted the new drive as a USB device and that also
worked perfectly so I replaced the smaller HD with the new one.<br>
I had an idea that I could boot the old drive as a USB device and
try the apt-get dist-upgrade on that version, which is also Ubuntu
10.10 though without some updates over the last several months.
This would let me know how the partial upgrade worked. However....<br>
When I try to boot the USB drive grub defaults to the newer,
installed HD and the USB drive won't boot. I also can't see the
drive in nautilus but it does show up in GParted as mounted. There
is a info flag with it that states, <br>
"Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because some of
this some operations may be unavailable.<br>
The following list of software packages is required for ext4 file
system support: e2fsprogs v1.41+."<br>
<br>
If the file system is unreadable then the unbootability makes
sense but what would cause it to become that way?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
