Thank you for the prompt reply! In my fstab, all the old drives are specified by UUID. And the new one does not have UUID yet. But it seems that GRUB does not read fstab... :( Where else should I specify them? Do you think that running # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg with a new drive connected will be enough?
