Replacing an HDD: will it be labeled as before?



Hi,

I would like to replace one of my HDDs by another one (a bigger one).
Say that this is /dev/sdc. Then, its structure is defined like this:

/dev/sdc1 (extended)
    /dev/sdc5 (ext3)

where

/dev/sdc5 is mounted as my home in /etc/fstab:

==
# cat /etc/fstab | grep merciadriluca
/dev/sdc5       /home/merciadriluca ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
==

Say now that I manage to copy my home to the new HDD (in ext3) which
will replace the old one. If I physically put a new HDD at the place of
the old one, will I encounter issues? Everything is done according to
/dev/, so, no UUIDs, and there should be no problem. But will it be set
as /dev/sdc5 automatically? (Sorry for my noobness.)

Thanks,
