Thanks for your and the many other suggestions.
I'm going to follow your advice and use rsync,
which seems most appropriate since the I have already copied the partitions.

I'm planning on saying "rsync -auvz" (which is my usual recipe).
If anyone can suggest better options I shall be glad to hear them.

I did actually do that, after changing the UUID settings in fstab.
But I was surprised to find that Fedora-20 Live CD (on a USB stick)
did not seem to do the trick, but the Netinstall CD did the job.
