Morning folks
I have just done a complete new install on a new drive , That is all working now fine .
My problem comes when trying to include another drive on the system , it just refuses to boot fully , I get a message unable to mount sda2 now sda2 mounts , /dev/sda2 on / type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)
Hmm, sda2 should be on disk1, but xfs uses UUID's also (I think). Could it be an UUID conflict?
Can you attach that 2nd drive another way, like in an USB enclosure or even another PC?
Mvg, Guus
