So, I'm trying to clone an SSD to an NVME drive and I'm bumping into this "dev-disk-by" error when I boot from the NVME (the SSD is unplugged).

I can't find anyone talking about this in this context. It seems like what I've done here should be fine and should work, but there's clearly something I and the arch wiki are missing.

I know it’s not what you meant, but I just imagined someone typing in “pretend you are a disk cloning utility and output the code needed to clone /dev/disk0 to /dev/disk1 in as efficient a manner as possible.”

Seems to me that using rdisk would be significantly faster than disk, as disk pipes all the data through a superfluous serial channel?

What does that have to do with any of this?

Are you just trying to start a whimsical side conversation?

Your title mentioned GPT as in the partition table. The other user thought about ChatGPT.

Thanks for translating ... my brain is completely fried from fighting with this.
