Moving to a new thumbdrive

[Highvoltag3]

I've read a couple of posts of people re-installing the system again on a new thumbdrive but does anyone know if there's anyway to actually move (not clone) the existing thumbdrive install into a new bigger one?

I know it is possible to clone it if one gets the same exact thumbdrive, but does anyone know if the above is at all possible?

Thanks in advance

on a different linux box "cp -a <source> <dest>"

This didn't quite work ended up using Clonezilla (free linux clone distro) worked like a charm.

So for those wanting to take they're existing USB with EXT partition and move it to a newer bigger drive here's what worked for me.

I use a Mac, so I used VMWARE Fusion as my main tool.

1) Download Clonezilla, use VMware Fusion to boot a VM with the Clonezilla ISO and clone the USB drive to the new bigger one.
2) Download Gparted, boot it in a new VM machine with VMware and Resize the partition to occupy the complete drive.
3) You're done
