Have you considered

Hey! I've been looking at your arch setup scripts, and found them quite interesting and am going to reuse some of this knowledge.

I wanted to share how I deal with setting up new personal devices, dunno if you've considered the approach, but it might be useful. What I do when setting up a new device is:

• Create a /boot partition, and set up LVM with a / partition, and a swap partition.
• I then rsync the filesystem from my previous computer to these new partitions.
• I arch-chroot the newly-rsync'd system, and re-run the EFI / bootloader setup.
• I change the params in /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf to the new partition UUIDs.

Once that's done, I can reboot and have my new device running as my old one. It's essentially a logical disk-swapping, but handles very well when disks change sizes.

You might be able to skip some setups steps with this. Cheers!

Thanks for pointing this out (sorry, I only just noticed the issue). I think this makes a lot of sense when replacing a system. However, I usually want to start from a blank slate. But I hope the setup script is useful for your adaptations!
