So, I’m trying to clone an SSD to an NVME drive and I’m bumping into this “dev-disk-by” error when I boot from the NVME (the SSD is unplugged).

I can’t find anyone talking about this in this context. It seems like what I’ve done here should be fine and should work, but there’s clearly something I and the arch wiki are missing.

    Clonezilla runs lots of tasks after (and before) dd that are in the log file(s) on the live environment before you reboot. I haven’t used it in a while, but I’m confident that one of the tasks is updating grub

      I did update grub via a chroot as one of my troubleshooting steps… So I don’t think that was it either. I actually recall it saying something about skipping updating grub (because it was a GPT system without some special flag set I think).

      I remember seeing it do something to the EFI stuff explicitly and I’m wondering if maybe that’s where it did something I didn’t.
