Apropos of not too much, I finally got around to copying my old 120GB Pi
boot disk to an image file, and splatting that back onto a 2TB SSD that
now has according to a GUI based disk editor shitloads of 'unused' space.

(The reason I didnt do it directly was on account of a lack of
functional and accessible USB slots in the computer I used.)

All looks ok, with a bootfs and a rootfs partition on it,  but I haven't
actually booted it yet.

I didn't sync it, I went to the supermarket instead, and left it
running, and then left it running on the second transfer while I had
the evening meal.

It appears to be OK

More later... I overslept badly and it may be Monday before more gets done.
