Ok, so far, so good I think.  My drive's partitions are copied.  Now here's
a bit that might screw with things...the copied partitions have the same
UUID's as the originals.  I know eventually I'm going to pull the old
(dying) drive, but I'd like to test it out before pulling it as it'll be a
pain.  I'm confused at what to do.  Won't having multiple partitions with
the same UUID screw with stuff?  Can I change the UUID of a partition?
