  • by swap them around i mean physically take the two drives out and put them in each others connectors. by interface i mean physical interface, like the plug or socket or slot they connect to the motherboard with.

    the bios usually enumerates drives based on their position on the bus, so switching the connector they’re plugged into would fix the problem.

    linux usually handles drives based on uuid, a unique identifier per device, so it wouldn’t mess up linux.

    you didn’t specify if one was like a sata or esata or nvme and the other was different so i had to qualify “if theyre the same interface”.




  • Even if you know how to do stuff, I’d avoid doing ostree on a universal blue derivative.

    I been using Linux for 25 years and just recently embraced the “don’t break Debian” part of the backport manual.

    Stuff you do and don’t document or don’t force yourself to recognize comes back to bite you years later when you can’t use the normal tooling in order to deal with it.

    Anyway, good luck, it sounds like you’ll be fine.
