[tde-users] Re: Anybody here using an SSD?

said Dr. Nikolaus Klepp: | And the UUIDs will give you a hard time when you duplicate drives and | boot with two identical UUIDs. e.g.: | | dd if=/sda of=/dev/sdb | | Remove /dev/sda - it's the old one, replace it by /dev/sdb. Put the old | drive on the shelfe for backup. Strangely, this didn't work for me a couple of years ago -- well, maybe more than a couple -- when I tried it in replacing a laptop drive. Ended up being the biggest mess ever (until I tried to run GRUB on a non-booted drive a few months ago, which was hell). Does copying the UUID happen with cloning software? I'd kind of hoped to clone my current boot drive's boot partition to the SSD. There have been comments in this thread that have suggested that all the other drives be unplugged and a fresh install be done to the SSD, which puzzles me. because that wouldn't be necessary with a traditional drive and I do not understand how an SSD would be different in that regard. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
