Don’t worry about UUID. There is no consistent rule how to specify a drive in fstab. And various Fedora tools handle it differently and you will have a mix of UUID or /dev/xxx specification. > First, my setup. > > I have one SSD that has / and all the partitions associated with it. > > I have three additional drives, two of which are hardware (for historical > reasons) RAIDed, and have /home As it looks, sda and sdc are software raid. If you had a hardware raid, all disks attached to the hardware raid controller show up as one drive.

(After that you should see UUIDs). What says cfdisk /dev/sdb ? If you can, create a partition and afterwards a filesystem. Then try e.g. mount -t xfs|ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
