OK, o I guess Server will be the only Operating System on the device. And because you ‚see‘ sda and sdb, you don’t have a hardware raid but use a software raid.

Fedora is the only OS.

Second bunch of questions:

(a)
Do you need to keep data?  If yes, how they are stored? On its own partition?
Both / and /home has raid1.
/ of course will be over written. /home needs to be preserved.
 

If not, is there anything against completely restructuring the hard disks? Then you wouldn't have to worry about the UUID at all.

(b) how are the disk currently formatted, what is the output of

Formatted as ext4 for everything.

lsblk

 NAME      MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINTS
sda         8:0    1 931.5G  0 disk  
├─sda1      8:1    1  14.7G  0 part  
└─sda2      8:2    1 916.9G  0 part

sdd         8:48   0 111.8G  0 disk  
└─sdd1      8:49   0 111.8G  0 part  
  └─md0     9:0    0 111.7G  0 raid1
sde         8:64   1  28.6G  0 disk  
├─sde1      8:65   1     1M  0 part  
└─sde2      8:66   1  28.6G  0 part  /
zram0     252:0    0     8G  0 disk  [SWAP]

The sde drive is a usb that I am using to boot with until I get the hdd fixed.

(c)

Do you know, if it is a BIOSboot machine or an UEFI machine?
The MB is from 2009. So it is bios, does not have BIOSboot partition.


Thanks for your help,

David
