Hi,
I've been with Linode for a couple of years and I'm preparing to migrate a disk image from one linode to another.
My question; the instructions for migration mention using /dev/xvdb, as in the command that initiates the transfer,

dd if=/dev/xvdb | ssh -C 12.34.56.78 "dd of=/dev/xvdb"

But isn't '/dev/xvdb' later used as the swap partition and not the main partition?
Shouldn't I be using '/dev/xvda' ??

Chas.

Is there a reason for not just using the "Clone" tab to clone the disk image to the new Linode?

The 'Clone' tab in the Linode Manager is what you want.

Oh, didn't even know that was there on the dashboard.
I guess I'm spending too much time reading the "Linode Library".
Thanks for your help.

Chas.
