I have replaced a totally dead drive a couple of times, and managed to boot from a live CD after replacing the drive and then do the grub install from the live CD, after which I could boot the real hard disk. > And, if I rsync each directory tree to the new drive, will that move the UUID > and/or labels too? Everyone seems to think UUID= is infinitely better to use than LABEL=, but specifically because I can control the LABEL but have no control over the UUID, I always change the fstab and wot-not to use LABEL= after giving my partitions meaningful labels with e2label. If you want to stick with UUID, the Live CD comes in handy there as well, once booted in live CD you can run blkid, find out what the UUIDs are in the new disk, and edit the fstab and grub.conf files to use the new UUIDs. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
