Hello everyone,
I'm in the midsts of making our second Arch USB key. started by doing a
cp --preserve=all -rv /mnt/usb1/* /mnt/usb2/*I verified file count, size, etc and everything matched up. Because it's USB and will be used on multiple machines I went with UUID. The UUID values are obviously different for the second drives partitions so I temporarily set it to /dev/sda1,2&3 (root, var & home respectively) in grub and fstab, changed the host name, and such before unmounting. Everything booted fine and worked as expected...
Until I tried to change the device IDs to UUID values. GRUB manages to use the UUID without an issue, however fsck says it can't resolve it.
I know the UUID values are correct since GRUB can use it to start the kernel, and several other computers report the same UUIDs for the partitions.
I'm also fairly certain the partitions are fine since if I change it back to sda1,2,3 in fstab it boots fine, even with GRUB using the UUID.
I'm clean out of ideas so if anyone has anything I'd be glad to hear it.
