I followed this guide on migrating an install to a new ssd and this was the result. I still have the original SSD but i'd rather fix this one then reinstall the original and clone it again. I'd be appreciate of any help.

Update 1: I reinstalled my original SSD and am booted into my Arch install. I'll probably try cloning again from here.

You'd want to boot a live USB and do this or use clonezilla, because trying to DD or PV an in-use drive to another is going to create problems since the system is altering data as its running, while you copy

Yeah, that makes sense. It seems obvious in retrospect.
