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
