I just added a new SSD drive and copied all the root files to it, edited fstab and updated the grub. Now the system is booting but some partitions fail to mount including 1 SSD partion and the swap partition which is in the old HDD.

During boot I get this error : The disk drive for UUID=731f3b08-ae9f-4e0e-ae1e-ef89e2acbc2e is not ready or not present. also get a similar message for /mnt/SSDData. How can I fix this?

My fstab :

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices

# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

#

The blkid output :

From blkid, you can see that the UUIDs have changed. Perhaps this occurred after you re-partitioned?

For example, blkid shows

/dev/sdb8: UUID="179768ad-16ec-4c94-b9a1-cf1d12736dbc" TYPE="swap"

i.e. the swap partition is now 179768ad-16ec-4c94-b9a1-cf1d12736dbc. Make a backup, then change the relevant line in /etc/fstab from

UUID=731f3b08-ae9f-4e0e-ae1e-ef89e2acbc2e none            swap    sw              0       0

to

UUID=179768ad-16ec-4c94-b9a1-cf1d12736dbc none            swap    sw              0       0

I'm not sure which of the other partitions belong where, but do similar modifications for the other ones that fail.

Also, I'm not sure if it'd work anyway, but you might as well be consistent with your formatting. i.e. instead of

/dev/disk/by-uuid/2066a69f-8284-4c83-8bfd-9c33453255b8 ....

use

UUID=2066a69f-8284-4c83-8bfd-9c33453255b8 ....

EDIT

Now I look at it, from the last two lines of /etc/fstab, it seems that you are trying to mount two partitions to /mnt/SSDData? Presumably sda is your SSD and consists of / and /mnt/SSDData in that order? If so, then remove the second-last line of /etc/fstab. (And clean it up as per my above instructions.)

Also, the third last line of /etc/fstab makes reference to 13b5fbd9-9f8e-495e-abe8-36dec9db8e9d, which is not in blkid. OTOH, there are some extra partitions in blkid that are not in /etc/fstab, so I'm not sure if you wanted to change that /etc/fstab to the proper UUID, or just delete it.
