How to Clone a live machine running from a Flash Drive to a Physical Disk

Scenario: Wanos is running via a USB Flash drive. User decides to install Wanos directly in to the Hard Drive.

1. Log into Wanos via SSH or through the physical terminal.
2. Stop all Wanos services by running this command:

/etc/init.d/wanosd stop-all

3. Determine your Physical Hard drive by running:

fdisk -l

In this case, USB drive is sdb and the physical hard disk drive is sda

4. Run the command:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda

5. Reboot & Boot from Hard Disk Drive


Note: This method may not be fully supported in future versions. It is recommended to write the Raw disk image directly to the destination drive with an external drive bay.
