I will note that price is from the local grocery store, because fuck Walmart. But also the main reason I grow it under artificial light instead of out in the garden is because it gets so hot here that lettuce starts to bolt in May or early June. This way I have non bitter lettuce year round.

I’m not sure where you live, but where I’m at it feels like everything is expensive. Want a head of lettuce? That’s $5. You want that same head to still be good and fresh 2 weeks later? Ha! That’ll be another $5.

Whereas my 60 watt Mars Hydro (the big one) only uses $3 in electricity per month. Now the fan and the smaller supplementary light use power too. Idk how much, but it couldn’t be more than the purpose made grow light. So let’s call it $6 per month for fresh lettuce whenever I want it. Can’t beat that with a stick, bud.

But it tastes way better than the micro plastic infused lettuce at the grocery store.

Although I’m not familiar with FileMaker 19, I was also less than impressed by Winehq but it was instrumental in me getting SketchUp Pro 2023 running (with only a few glaring issues lol).

I have hit a bit of a snag. Quick rundown of what I have done. I attempted to use clonezilla but then I learned that it can’t clone a larger partition to a smaller partition, even if it is mostly “empty” space. So I learned how to use gparted from a live USB version of Linux mint to size the partition on my hdd with all of my stuff on it to be the same size as my new SSD (8tb to 4tb) so that it could clone to it. Well clonezilla ran for a couple hours overnight and then when I went to check things in the morning I got an error attempting to mount the drive as described in step 12. I don’t remember the error specifically,something about a super block, but my googling told me it was most likely an issue with the cloning process. So I decided to just follow your directions exactly and use disc destroyer for the first time. It took five-ever as in almost 5 hours to copy everything over lol but I am able to mount it as described in step 12, great joy! But then at step 13 when I type sudo nano /newboot/etc/fstab I am told that it doesn’t exist. I mosey on over in the file browser and sure enough there is no file at that location. For shits and gigs I run sudo nano /etc/fstab to look at the one on the live USB version of Linux mint and it doesn’t seem to be what I should be looking for either:

overlay / overlay rw 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0

I thought about saying YOLO but then I remembered this was the exact UUID stuff I was worried about when I read the thread from Google so I thought I’d ask before just trying to boot the SSD and seeing what happens.

Also I have some clarifying questions about the last few instructions. Step 15 says to remove the source HDD before booting, which I can do to test that the SSD cloned successfully but after the test I do want to be able to put the HDD back in to the computer and reformat it as extra storage space. Does that change anything about what I should do? If I want to use both drives together do the UUIDs still need to be identical? Or should they be different in that case?

Thanks again so much for your help, I feel like I’m making progress and Im accidentally learning quite a bit in the process.

Thank you so much! I’ve only got the one SSD and one HDD, sorry that I wasn’t very clear in my original post. But I think I can follow your detailed instructions and resolve this. I’ll report back when I’ve had time to do as you’ve described. Again, much appreciated!

No, sorry. My computer had a single HDD. Now I have a new SSD that I would like to add to the machine and use in conjunction with that HDD.

Sorry I can boot into either one and can change boot order via bios, yes. I’m trying to merge two installs now basically. I want my SSD to be my one and only boot drive but have all of the settings and programs from the HDD brought over to the fresh install. And then use both drives at the same time. If that makes sense. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks! I knew it would drive me crazy if I didn’t.
