Hi, I haven't tried switching. One of the slots is under some CPU cooler fans, and I don't have the stuff to remove/deal with that at the moment.
I believe I'm using direct EFI. The first SSD, where I have all my original data, under `fdisk -l` shows one of the devices having the "EFI System" type. My old drive has name nvme1n1, and it has a UUID with "c04b", which matches what is under "rd.luks.uuid" in xen.cfg under EFI/qubes when I mount the "EFI System" device. The newer drive has name nvme0n1, and it has UUID with "fe3d". This newer disk shows up in the dracut shell when I do `blkid`, but the older one is missing On Friday, 11 September 2020 at 01:43:02 UTC-7 donoban wrote: > On 2020-09-11 07:26, ktono via qubes-users wrote: > > I have a Qubes 4.0.3 setup that uses an NVMe SSD for storage and boots > using UEFI.
