The disk/by-id file names are made up from hardware properties. I believe to see in the name at least: Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number. So you will have to find the configuration file which knows that /dev/disk/by-id address and change it either to the new hardware id or to a /dev/disk/by-uuid address, which refers to the cloned disk content. Have a nice day :) Thomas
