Greetings;
In the process of getting ready to swap to a new boot drive, a "grub-install" put everything on /dev/hdd since it was mapped to '(hd1)' in the /boot/grub/device.list.
I fixed the device.list on the current boot drive, hda, and reran the grub-install script. But do I need to undo what it did to /dev/hdd before I make /dev/hdb into /dev/hda, and make /dev/hda into /dev/hdb by swapping jumpers on the drive and rebooting? I've fixed the /etc/fstab copy put on the new drive to reflect the new partition numbers for this and that.
With 3 drives stacked up, they are running very hot, and I'd like to get /dev/hdd out of there, and space the old /dev/hda up into its location giveing an empty space between the drives so they'll run cooler as quickly as I can. I think I'll need to edit the copy of grub.conf on the new drive to boot from the correct / partition too.
Have I missed anything?
