Hi dep,

the time it gets here I hope I'll have cooked up a good fstab for it
-- the existing drives will have to move down by one letter, so my
sda4 will become sdb4 b4 I can use it. And so on.
When you're about adjusting the fstab: don't use the old driveletters
anymore, a pita sometimes, take partition-UUID's, they stay the same
whatever you shuffle drives around.
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.
Some time later you need data from the old drive (will never happen, for sure) and connect
it to your system with a sata-usb-adapter or plug it into a free sata port of your
mainboard. Reboot or mount the drive ... fun guaranteed :)
That said, uuids are kind of coll, but they get in my way all the time, just like the
"new" aka GNOMEish naming schemes for e.g. eth0.
Nik
Regards.
