* When you move a Linux drive from one position to another, the only thing that /should/ change is the device label, i.e. if hdb1 is 'swap' and hdb2 is '/', and you move/add things so the drive becomes 'hdd'... 'swap' becomes 'hdd1' and '/' becomes 'hdd2', and so on. Therefore, in each root partition on the drives that will be affected, you would need to also change the appropriate entries in /etc/fstab from 'hdbX' to 'hddX'. These changes plus updating the bootloader should make it possible to boot into the new configuration without difficulty.
If you use partition labels, you can move the drives around without any editing in /etc/fstab. Like: LABEL=big_home /home xfs noatime 1 2 There are some exceptions, though: swap partitions aren't labeled, for instance. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEfZ7vtTMYHG2NR9URAoLWAJ4nCJ7Jsh4HN+JBJ4GdfJLb1XbLagCgl5WX Tgs4biXNrNoDCzCR5QrekpQ= =xuG5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
