General Discussion / How can I change the mount device?
« on: February 06, 2023, 02:51:07 am »
In preparation for upgrading from 21.7.8 to 22.1, I thought it would be a good idea to clone my OPNsense SSD in case something goes wrong. But when I boot from the cloned SSD, the root mount fails because the cloned SSD has a different device name than the original SSD. OK, so I entered ufs:/dev/<cloned disk/partition device> and it worked.
Now, how do I change the mount device so I don't have to enter the mount device every time the system reboots? Is it stored where it can be edited or is it in the boot record somewhere that can't be edited?
Thanks in advance for any help.
[I'm thinking if something goes wrong and I have to revert, I can clone the clone back to the original SSD and maybe it'll be assigned the original device name?]
