Hello all,
I have GNS3 VM in VMware Workstation Pro.
GNS3 provides ready-made VMs and we can directly import them in VMware Workstation Pro and start working with it.
The current GNS3 VM is running on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS as you can see from the output below.
I have also taken outputs of some important commands so that you can see the structure of all the drives and directories.
The /opt directory is on different disk i.e. sdb1 and / is on different disk i.e. sda2
So I want to move entire sdb1 to sda2 without losing any data in sdb1 or sda2. And if I copy any data to /opt which is now in sdb1, but after the transfer of /opt to sda2, any data that I copy to /opt should go to sda2.
And after all this is successfully completed, I hope I can remove the second hard disk in VMware which contains /opt now, right?
Please help. I have also attached the VMware disks screenshot to this thread.
