Could it be an UUID conflict? Can you attach that 2nd drive another way, like in an USB enclosure or even another PC? Mvg, Guus
Re: [arch-general] New install second drive issue
What tool is being used to boot (grub, refind, etc)? Should we assume this is UEFI? And if so, what are UEFI Bios settings possibly relevant (like a boot manager setting for example which "can" choose disks oher than your preference).

Have you tried to use /dev/sda2 instead of the UUID in /etc/fstab? Do you know if the other drive does work? I have seen an SSD that had failed and when installed into another machine to see just if it might work, the computer wouldn't boot at all.
Re: [arch-general] New install second drive issue
Hi Ralph . No this was a total clean install the uuids were what was automatically generated . I cant make heads or tails of it right now . Last time i had anything like this was way back in the days of MFM and RLL drives .

Re: [arch-general] New install second drive issue
Hi Pete, > I am stuck right now i need to be able to include the old drive to > recover data from it. When you installed on the new drive, did you attempt to reuse UUIDs, labels, etc., from the old drive? -- Cheers, Ralph.

Hi Pete, Can you add your fstab? I would hazard a guess and claim that if you use device names in fstab (sdXY) that your newly plugged in drive takes that name and isn't a valid rootfs. Preferably, you would use UUIDs in fstab. Regards, Khorne

There could be a setting in Thunderbird, but Thunderbird could, and does according to that URL, make use of its environment through the locale's time preferences, and that's what locale(1) shows. So the correct place to change this isn't necessary Thunderbird. -- Cheers, Ralph.
