Hello everyone, I'm facing a particular challenge with transferring the disk labels set at boot to the more stable partuuid system. After attempting an export and reimport via the " import -d /dev/disk/by-partuuid" command, I noticed that other disks remain labeled with the old system names like sdb and sbc. My goal is to migrate the system—switching to a new motherboard and CPU—and I understand that using UUIDs is more reliable. Could this affect the process? Will the import still succeed even though the remaining disks continue using a labeling method that assigns letters based on read order in BIOS or an early Linux boot stage?
