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.

    Most of the time, you want to boot a recovery mode from USB, mount your existing root and efi partitions, and then just reinstall grub.

    I did do that FWIW, but it didn’t do it/it wasn’t enough/it still didn’t work.

    If this was a toy system and/or I was back in college and feeling adventurous, I would definitely be more inclined to try and figure out what happened. As it stands, I just want the thing to work 😅
