What Happened?

Before, when attempting to clone a disk (for backup), it errored out saying the drive is over 140TB in size and not enough space in the next drive (my root is like ~100gb for reference). I looked for the cause of this, and it turns out the file kcore in /proc/ is the culprit.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to /proc/
  2. Find kcore near bottom.

Expected Behavior

Cloning / transfer / copy operations work from a smaller drive to a larger one without a hitch.
