      Hi,

      I'm currently running 2 nanobsd in master / slave mode. I would like to get the full install on the devices. I plan to remove the flashdisk of 4GB and replace it by a SSD disk of 60GB.
      What is the best way to perform this upgrade?

      I'm planing to do it this way:

      • backup the master
      • shutdown the slave
      • remove flashdisk, add SSD disk
      • full install on SSD disk
      • install packages
      • import backup
      • connect the device back

      Repeat the actions on master device. Is that correct?

      Thank you for your advices.

        I'd import the backup, reboot, then reinstall any packages that didn't make it…

          OK for adding the reboot and installing missing packages after the backup.
          Thank you very much.
