In order to prepare for a restore, I start with a blank disk, and format it to match my old drive. But in doing that, I don't think volume labels ever got set. "e2label /dev/sda1" returns /boot but "e2label /dev/sdb"1 returns nothing. . So in order for grub.conf to boot the new drive, I have to assign partition labels, or change grub.conf to use physical device names?
