I made a complete copy of my Fedora boot ssd using dd however the new drive does not boot correctly and is not mountable when connected via usb enclosure on a different machine. I get a bad superblock error when trying to mount /dev/fedora/home and /dev/fedora/root.

When i try to boot from it directly it starts to boot fedora but then drops to the emergency shell.

I have tried running fsck on the two ext4 volumes but this did not seem to help.

I also made a second copy to another known good ssd and got the same results.

Some relevant console output is pasted below.

Apologies if this has been answered before. I tried the advice in a few other posts on this forum with no luck.
