Am actually kind of amazed at how well it has gone
thusfar. Really puzzled,
though, that while the drives are the same, and in the same physical
locations, connectors, etc., but what was once sda1, my boot drive, is now
sdb1, my boot drive. Which I discovered when I went to mount sdb1, which
is 8 terabytes of photographs -- pretty much an entire career. Blood
pressure rose until I got it figured out.
Persistent naming is always a dice role. I've got to the point of using the
UUIDs from:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/
and
/dev/disk/by-partuuid/
for fstab, etc...
Never have issues from then on. On openSUSE, my laptops has 2 SSDs (both
Linux, one Leap, one Tumbleweed) and you can use /dev/sda, /dev/sdb -- but if
I log out from sdb, that drive disappears from the identified drives. There is
never any confusion when using UUID - except trying to make sense of the
hashes ...
But that's what a quick
$ ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/
is for.
