[Solved] Filesystem conversion doesn't work - Fstransform

Hi, I've been testing Fstransform to convert from ext4 to xfs on Arch & the conversion is carried out without any issues. Then, I modify /etc/fstab with the new UUID's, reinstall the bootloader & run mkinitcpio -P to make sure these changes have been registered. But, when I restart, systemd is still looking for my old UUID's.

Are there any other steps I have to carry out so that the init system recognises this change? Or, I'm not 100% sure if the filesystem conversion has failed.

Have you reconfigured the bootloader?


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

I reinstalled it. What should I do to reconfigure it? I'm using GRUB.
