"CRITICAL: March 20, 2018, 8:17 p.m. - Device: /dev/ada0, Read SMART Self-Test Log Failed"
Just got my system re-installed to bare metal and fully up-and-running again last week after moving late last year; unfortunately now it looks like my old clunker Intel 80GB SSD that I'm using as the boot/install drive is starting to crap out. The question is... is there any easy way I can simply "mirror" that whole disk to another drive, without having to re-install and re-configure everything? I have another (unused) 512GB SSD installed in /dev/ada1, although I'm sure I'll waste a lot of space doing that.
(I originally tried to simply use the USB drive as my boot disk, but that wasn't happening. I have a motherboard with a buggy BIOS that will not boot from USB if it sees too many SATA devices, even if they are on my PCIe controller....)
In a perfect world someone has certainly run into this before and there's a simply 'dd' command I can do to mirror /dev/ada0 -> /dev/ada1, power-down, swap the physical drives and voila? I'm not too thrilled to waste even more space on a much newer/nicer 512GB SSD, but it's all I've got handy at the moment. I'm actually not sure how urgent this is, since the system seems to be functioning fine aside from a couple syslog messages:
