Even though the 2nd drive will not be connected to the device at all times, will the device assignments not change when I reconnect? - when I worked with Rpi, i was told that could happen, so i always use UUID/GUID mapping for my root drive.

Thanks for the info. Can a list of steps be provided which I can use to update the /boot files manually to use the rootFS to USB drive ? Also, is it possible to add the usb drive by UUID/GUID instead of /dev/sda1? I plan to move the root to a mini-drive & attach another USB HDD as storage.

Hi, I had downloaded the image for my Hummingboard i2ex & tried to move my root FS to a USB drive. It did not throw any errors, but, on verifying the mount & boot.cmd file, it did not get migrated. The root still shows mounted from the SD Card. Can anyone help me in resolving this issue ? Here is my device details after reboot. root@cubox-i:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 1 14.6G 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 1 14.6G 0 part mmcblk0 179:0 0 14.9G 0 disk └─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 14.6G 0 part / root@cubox-i:~# blkid /dev/mmcblk0p1: UUID="77646057-ce1f-426f-b09b-d2e6f03f3d52" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="fc0e1b7e-01" /dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="fc0e1b7e" PTTYPE="dos" /dev/sda1: UUID="e4dfdc67-2bb4-4d77-b403-b38c77cc89f0" TYPE="ext4" root@cubox-i:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs 201M 4.7M 196M 3% /run /dev/mmcblk0p1 15G 1.1G 14G 8% / tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /tmp log2ram 50M 812K 50M 2% /var/log tmpfs 101M 0 101M 0% /run/user/0 root@cubox-i:~# cat /etc/fstab UUID=77646057-ce1f-426f-b09b-d2e6f03f3d52 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 /var/swap none swap sw 0 0 Also, I want to attach another USB Hard Disk along with the main USB drive(the one to be using as root) which I will use as removable file storage; How can I add it without making it sda1 accidentally on boot.
