DD did well. Perfect copy of a disk...which got a problem. B4
Likely missing dir inadvertly move with cli or mouse gesture -before-
the DD action.
Check the copy, the ssd.
.. conenient...
Trust dd. Was in blockmode.
Could not have effect on fs.

My SSD for the ThinkPad arrived, so I pulled the drive from the machine
and
using a separate machine to dd the contents of the existing drive onto
the
new one. It being a 1-tb drive on both ends, it took a few hours. dd
reported success.
I put the new SSD into the machine and booted it. I was happy to see it
booted readily. I was less happy to see what happened next.
I got to the nice graphical login window. I typed in my password.
Screen
went black with a mouse pointer, then after a few seconds returned to
the
login screen. Damn, I thought. So I shut down and reinstalled the
original
drive.
And guess what? *Same thing*! Perfectly working installation has now
lost
the contents of its /home partition. Only thing there is /lost+found.
This
on the original drive, which dd shouldn't have touched at all.
To say I am at a loss is an understatement. Everything else seems to
work.
Any informed guesses?
