Hi, I have NixOS managed by flake config and updated via nixos-rebuild switch
on LUKS/LVM spanning two SSD drives as shown below [1] which I want to move onto one new SSD. The process of moving LVM partitions is quite straightforward to me. My question is what to do afterwards? Do I simply nixos-enter
from the installer thumb-drive into my new partition, change UUID’s in the config and run nixos-rebuild switch as I would normally? Would it install EFI on the new disk too? Thanks!
