Re: Help: disk swap



Have the running linux system on the machine.  Run lsblk to locate the
name of the boot partition.  Once you have the name run blkid and copy the
uuid for use in the end of /etc/fstab and put in the path to the boot
device, the disk format ext4, defaults,nofail 1 2 on an fstab entry.
Next, run update-grub and you should get a new boot entry in grub.  If you
boot the machine on the boot screen hit down-arrow followed by enter and
your other disk should boot up.
I got a new computer with no sata tray in it and have a sata caddy and
some older sata disks and that's how I got those to boot.  hth.
