Thanks. Will try it out. Not sure what those options might do.
I have the 85G image of the 1TB SDD, so can restore it to test with 
no problem. Will make an image of the 2TB with default setup, so 
can switch back and forth for test. 

Just weird that it says it isn't finding the partitions, but the have 
same uuid, just switches from /dev/sdb to the nvme?

Thanks.
