| Oct 1, 2012 at 20:51 | comment | added | korylprince | This will not just work. The file /etc/fstab is the file your system reads to know what disks mount where. The disks are stored by a uuid, and when you make a new disk this won't be the same. You will need to edit this file on the new system to fix that. Also network cards will be renamed (that would happen anyways.) | |
