"Remote Environment" probably means a) read-only mounted root FS or b) |
11 |
a boot into another instance, e.g. a live-CD, right? If you're talking |
12 |
about just SSH'ing into the machine: That will probably cause the copy |
13 |
to be broken (if the machine has / still mounted r/w), at least an fsck |
14 |
would be needed. |

Also, this method will also need a bigger or equally sized new |
17 |
partition. If it's bigger, one also needs to resize the filesystem |
18 |
afterwards. |
