Hi All,
I need to migrate a Fedora server from a mechanical hard drive running legacy boot to an NVMe drive that requires EUFI to boot.
Am I stuck reinstalling everything?
Is this a BIOS limitation? I don’t think there’s any reason why you couldn’t boot via legacy to a GPT-labeled disk with GRUB installed.
But if you are migrating, you could boot off the old disk with the nvme hardware attached, and set it up with a UEFI partition, a separate /boot partition, and the rest as LVM, and then migrate the data. Once you have the correct UUID of the non-LVM volumes updated in your fstab, and the grub2-efi-x86_64 package installed, you can give it a try to switch over.
