Umbrel Disk Swap / Data Migration / 1TB to 2TB SSD

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Recently had to upgrade my Umbrel v1.4.2 node from a 1TB to a 2TB SSD.
It was super smooth with the help of this post and a few modifications below:

Thanks @DHD!!

WARNING: If you have any funds or important data on your device, make sure to have a valid backup and seed words before proceeding!

I used BalenaEtcher to clone the SSD:

  1. Login to Umbrel. Settings > Shutdown. Power OFF
  2. Unplug 1TB Drive from Umbrel, Plug both your 1TB and 2TB drives into your computer
  3. Open BalenaEtcher
    a. Clone Drive > Choose 1TB Drive (source disk) > Select
    b. Select Target > Choose 2TB Drive (destination disk) > Select
    c. Flash! (This takes a while, it should provide a time estimate)
  4. Eject 2TB Drive from computer and plug into Umbrel. Power ON
  5. Login to Umbrel. Settings > Advanced Settings > Terminal
  6. Follow Steps 12-17 in the linked guide above
    Note: I used sudo growpart /dev/sda 1 for Step 13, OP may have a typo

After reboot and logging back in, confirm disk shows 2TB in the Umbrel GUI. Hope this helps! :umbrella:

Doing this now! I was going around and around with AI on this one. If this works you just saved me a whole lot of hair loss. Thank you!!
