You really should use a proper tool for the job. Something like

saving *only* the used blocks.  I mostly use CloneZilla  (that uses
partclone) but you can install partclone [1] in Fedora.


Please note I will not be cloning my partition but just the contents of the root logical volume.

The partition will still exist.

The reason I am doing this is because I want to move to thin LVMs, rather than the old CoW LVM.

Is partclone the write option? Or am I better off with dd ?
