Sure, The best thing to do is be sure you have read the first tread because
the fix is on that branch.
I copied the partitions to the new drive but this copies the UUID numbers
also and thus you have 2 partitions with the same numbers. So we reset the
numbers and then things started acting as I would have thought they should
from the start. I was just looking for the command that is in the other
tread but it is on my other FF on the other partition, sorry. Anyway it
resets the partitions UUID with a new random one.
