Interesting thread. :)
I would like to know a bit more about your process for booting knoppix (which version/edition, too) and rsync'ing between the two partitions. Thanks.

No need for anything that drastic. You could just do something like use e2label to give the partitions symbolic labels (different on each disk) and change fstab to use LABEL= instead of UUID=. I think there is even a tool that lets you change the UUID, but I don't remember the name or how to use it :-).
Yea, and I'll end up doing that, but the problem is that I've done some yum installs and yum updates and, of course, reading mail, browsing the internet, etc., and there are now new files here and there on cross partitions that need to be good to go on, at least, one of the two disks. Then I can do the UUID changes and make sure that I boot from the disk where all of the partitions are current. I'm thinking I *may* be able to rsync partitions, copying "newer" files back and forth (probably after booting into Knoppix). That should do it. I'll have to think about it some more and decide on how to do this.
Thanks.
