Reboot from live MX23 USB and disk IDs change
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2023 5:18 am
Hello people,
Many thanks for the new MX23. It looks to run very smoothly on my machine. But I have a problem. Here's the quick system info:
I've taken two pics from KDE Partition manager - one from the boot I'm posting this message in (Log-in 18:20), the other from the previous boot (Log-in 18:00). I have four SSDs. sda contains (per the MX21 I've been using for some time) the files for MX19 that I no longer use. sdb contains the files for the MX21 that I currently use. sdc contains the files for a version of Ubuntu I was looking at and which failed to boot after update. That's where I'm planning to put MX23. sdd contains my data files. When I first started last night to boot from USB I got different disks registered as sda etc at different boots. Sometimes all were different. Then, earlier today, the boots all consistently gave me what I'm used to with MX21 (also KDE). Now, later in the day, I'm getting different allocations of sda,b,c and d to different disks again.
The two pics show that sda and sdb were the same during both boots but that sdc and sdd were swapped around. I have three users on my system. They perform different functions and I'm trying to allocate access permissions according to how I use the users and what I want them to access. This isn't possible when the disks get mounted as different drive IDs on different boots.
Any help please?
I don't know whether it's relevant but I've lost the ability to right click a desktop and select 'Log off'. I have to use the MX button that I have at the bottom left and select a Power option. I'm not worried about this at present, though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There is no solution in there, so I cannot repost the solution
