Upgrading to an SSD

[Paul Lewis <apflewis@gmail.com>]

I like to try out one of the newish Solid State drives. What has 
prompted this is that my machine has started to complain about low disk 
space on /root.

Using disk analyser I can see there is loads of free disk space.

This is a 250GB drive but only 22GB is actually being used. Suggesting 
to me that I could easily shoehorn my whole operating system (including 
home partition ) into one of the cheapish 64GB ss drives.

I'd like to convert my existing hard drive to hold media from the TTV 
reciever and perhaps reinstall MythTV absent for a year or so.

Here is my concern. When I installed this system I elected to encrypt 
the drive and use lvm.

1. I'd like to avoid 'root' full errors in future.

2. Assuming I have my SSD installed and formatted, what would be the 
best, simplest and most trouble free process to move everything from my 
existing hard drive to the new SSD?
