Turning a USB HDD into an internal one, will it's mount change?

[steinooo]

Hi all,

I have been tempted for a while to take my USB HDD out of it's caddy and put it directly in my HP Microserver running XBMCButu, but I'm wondering what Linux will think of this.

Do you think it will mean that it's no longer mounted as "/media/Elements" but rather as "sdb" or something? I just want to prepare myself instead of potentially freaking out

yeah the root directory will change but it will still read it just fine

There is a fairly good chance it's device will change but that shouldn't be much of a problem to sort out. Unless of course you are mounting by UUID in which case it should just mount it ok as that will not change.
