This is much harder to do without LVM or Btrfs. For LVM there's more steps but basically it depends on 'pvmove'. And for Btrfs it's 'btrfs replace' - both are live migrations and so long as /boot is separate, nothing else needs to be changed or updated. > After running grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig, If the computer has BIOS firmware, then grub2-install to a whole block device is indicated. If it's UEFI firmware, then grub2-install shouldn't be used. Instead use: sudo dnf reinstall grub-* shim-* Also note starting with Fedora 34 that UEFI and BIOS have /boot/grub2/grub.cfg now due to feature: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnifyGrubConfig > my machine will not boot. > I performed the changes using a F33 live DVD which also fails to boot. > After plugging in a USB-connected SD card with Centos 7 on it, > the F33 live DVD decided to boot. > It is what I am running now. > The complaint is UUID 2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a not found. > While running F33 live DVD I get > blkid | grep 2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a > /dev/loop1: LABEL="Anaconda" UUID="2b82edc2-4eb2-44a0-8b5b-c71da0de9b3a" Sounds like /etc/fstab has the wrong UUID. > I backed up sda5 with rsync -auHAXUUx . > I copied from the backup with the same flags. > I edited the new etc/fstab to point at sda3, > actually LABEL=local3slash .

The easiest way to get it properly assembled for you is the rescue option in the troubleshooting menu on netinstall media. And since /boot is a dir in the copied sysroot... yeah dracut. A neat hint is to search a live install's program.log for 'rsync' to see what command is used for a live install. 08:18:29,672 INF program: Running... rsync -pogAXtlHrDx --exclude /dev/ --exclude /proc/ --exclude /tmp/* --exclude /sys/ --exclude /run/ --exclude /boot/*rescue* --exclude /boot/loader/ --exclude /boot/efi/loader/ --exclude /etc/machine-id /run/install/source/ /mnt/sysroot A lot of that does translate into -a option. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
