Beginners Guide: Migrating to SSD

4. Tell Linux where to find the root file system by editing the configuration file  /boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf

sudo nano  /boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf

In the editor, you will see the text as follows:

label kernel-4.4
    kernel /Image
    initrd /initrd.img
    fdt /dtb
    append earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xff130000 rw root=LABEL=linux-root rootwait rootfstype=ext4 init=/sbin/init coherent_pool=1M

Change LABEL=linux-root to LABEL=rootfs  or whatever label you used on step 1.

Save the change and exit the editor.

5. Reboot

After reboot and login back, you can verify with lsblk -f command.

sudo lsblk -f 

Have fun.

Hi, 

Before we reboot (step 5) , should we also add the entry for  /dev/sda1 to the fstab so that this drive is mounted when the system reboots?
