My recent move to a (not seen by the BIOS) PCIe SSD seems to be fully
successful now, thanks to everyone here who helped me getting this
working.
Currently /boot is on a 500Gb SATA hard disk which is otherwise
completely redundant so I'd quite like to move /boot to the 120Gb SATA
SSD which originally had the OS on it.
So what's the easiest/simplest way to move /boot from one SATA drive
to another? In my case I want to move it from /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1.
There's nothing on either sda1 or sdb1 that needs to be preserved.
Just to be a bit clearer here are the relevant bits from 'df' :-
Filesystem Type 1M-blocks Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p2 ext4 48174 13927 31733 31% /
/dev/nvme0n1p3 ext4 896193 273727 576874 33% /home
/dev/sda1 ext4 468427 243 444322 1% /boot
/dev/sdb1 ext4 112515 18036 88742 17% /1904
/dev/sdc1 ext4 938772 168648 722415 19% /bak
I want to put /boot where /1904 is and then I can remove sda1. (/1904
was the old OS installation that I mounted for reference while I
configured my new xubuntu 19.10 installation on /dev/nvme0n1p2).
