Sdc 8:32 0 447.1G 0 disk (GPT SSD from original Windows-only installation) └─sdb5 8:21 0 238G 0 part (Linux root partition) (has ~750Gb unallocated space after) ├─sdb2 8:18 0 1007K 0 part (reserved for ?MBR related stuff - 1st physical partition, hangover from original drive) ├─sdb1 8:17 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi (Linux EFI partition, is physically second partition on drive) Sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk (GPT HDD, cloned from MBR SSD and converted to GPT) └─sda2 8:2 0 1.3T 0 part (exFAT partition for sharing files between OSes) Here's what my storage looks like, now that I'm back to a working configuration:Ĭode: Select all sda 8:0 0 2.7T 0 disk (GPT HDD) I burnt days in the process of shuffling partitions, cloning/nuking/restoring drives, and mucking around with EFI partitions etc. I updated the motherboard BIOS to the latest available (a 2018 beta) and while it then identified the drive as "ubuntu" in the boot order selection screen, still would not actually boot from the NVMe. managed to unscramble the eggs and am now back to square one with both OSes booting again, LM running from the HDD but the home partition now lives on the 2Tb NVMe instead of the previous 1Tb NVMe. Got myself into a huge mess with nothing booting any more. I tried all manner of workarounds to no avail, including using the ailing SSD's EFI as the boot device but having the root filesystem on the NVMe - wouldn't play, even with cloned partition UUIDs. except that my creaky old motherboard with its 2013 BIOS coudn't see the NVMe drive to boot from it. I thought to myself, if it was so easy to clone the SSD to the HDD, why not get a nice fast 2Tb NVMe card and clone to that? Needless to say, LM is now ooooohhhh ssssoooooo sssslllooooooslots). Win10 is on a 480Gb SATA SSD and LM system was on a 256Gb SATA SSD which slowly started dying, so I cloned it to a 1Tb HDD I had lying around. I have a dual boot system with LM20.3 and Win10, boot choice driven from the GRUB menu.
