      Hi! I have recently cloned my HDD from the pfsense machine to another HDD. The problem is that when I boot the machine with the cloned HDD I get this horible error: Mounting from ufs:/dev/gptid/some-id failed with error 19.
      When I type '?' I see the gptids for every partition and ada0p3, ada0p2, ada0p1 and ada0. When I type 'ufs:/dev/ada0p2' it boots just fine, no errors, no hickups, no bugs. The problem is that it's not persistent, after reboot I need to type that filesystem and path again.
      So my question is, how and where should I replace the default partition name?

      Thank you guys for all the support, I hope you can help me solve my issue.

        You can just edit the fstab (/etc/fstab) with that path you entered. That will persist.

          Thank you!
          I have set it through SSH and finally, after 4 days I have rebooted it (I was afraid it won't work and didn't have the time to setup a monitor and a keyboard to the pfsense machine).
          It works great!
