Hello I want to follow the steps of this link, but I don't understand the part about the fstab. I don't have the 50 cursed reputation points so I can't comment in order to ask the person who answered the question, to elaborate on that part.

So can anyone help me? what do I have to change inside the fstab? And what blkid does? cause when I typed it on terminal I got nothing back.

  • Try sudo blkid, it should show available partitions and their UUIDs. UUIDs are also what you'll need to change in fstab. – mikewhatever Jun 02 '17 at 19:23
  • oh sudo... ok now it show some things. but how do I change it? I mean what id goes where? – Apostolis Kennedy Jun 02 '17 at 19:32
  • New UUIDs should replace the old ones. New partitions on the SSD will have different UUIDs, you'll find them with sudo blkid, and put them into fstab in place of the old ones. – mikewhatever Jun 02 '17 at 19:37
  • Often easier just to do a new install & copy /home and/or data into that new install. Only if you made custom hardware settings changes may you need those from /etc. All your user settings are in /home, most in . or hidden files & folders. – oldfred Jun 02 '17 at 19:56
  • If I just fresh install and copy my home folder I will have the same configuration as now? Or will I have to install everything again? – Apostolis Kennedy Jun 03 '17 at 17:21
