Move Lubuntu 20.04 from bigger hard drive to a smaller SSD
You're looking for a way to reduce the size of your 1TB SSD while keeping it suitable for Plex. A live USB with a smaller partition might work, but you'll need to be careful with the UUID and boot process. Clonezilla can help migrate the partition, though it may require some setup. Make sure to test thoroughly before relying on it.
Reduce the sections and spread them out, or rebuild the partitions on the new drive. Then sync all the data and reinstall grub.
I followed my plan directly. I had to bypass and let the partition table adapt dynamically, yet everything functioned smoothly without affecting Grub despite its intended failure. I assumed the worst scenario wouldn’t happen and considered reformatting the SSD as an alternative approach.
It's quicker to move metadata, review and correct wrong matches and TV show analysis, so you can skip intros instead of spending 12–18 hours rebuilding. For example, saving time compared to 30 minutes.
