In previous threads I've asked about rebuilding my XEON machine with an ssd for Linux and the existing hdd for data.
Well I've gone ahead and installed the ssd, moved the physical sata connectors so the ssd is /dev/sdan and the old hdd is now /dev/sdb (yes I know it isn't necassary - maybe I'm a bit ocd!)
It's all good, Mint 20 is on the ssd, and the old system and data is on the hdd.
There are a few things I don't understand - (yes only a few!)
Code:
jonke@charlie:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 1.2G 1.7M 1.2G 1% /run
/dev/sda5 228G 8.7G 208G 4% /
tmpfs 5.9G 21M 5.9G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 511M 4.0K 511M 1% /boot/efi
tmpfs 1.2G 12K 1.2G 1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sdb5 1.8T 86G 1.7T 5% /media/jonke/6e725920-1c32-4931-bab9-fc8c12d01128
I built this to use the entire ssd for Mint, why did it create the /boot/efi 511Mb partition? I don't recall specifying that.
See gparted images
My old hdd is /dev/sdb5, how can I change the mount name (point?) - /media/jonke/6e725920-1c32-4931-bab9-fc8c12d01128 is a bit too long for my liking, this might help, /etc/fstab and blkid :
Code:
jonke@charlie:~$ more /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation

jonke@charlie:~$ blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="EB15-5510" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="03f34433-01"

and just for good measure fdisk -l:
Code:

Question, is the 511Mb partition why/how is it W95 FAT32? Mint created it when I built.
Final question, does it look okay as it is?
Rebuilt MINT 20 on ssd
