Change SATA mode to AHCI on installed server
 

I want to change SATA mode on a server already installed. Should I take
care of something before make the change at the BIOS setup?

Thanks.

The only thing I'd check is that /etc/fstab mounts using UUIDs and not
/dev/sd? names. Other than that, just try it, if it doesn't boot, revert
the BIOS setting and mention there's a problem

Thanks Ahmed. When I checked the BIOS, it was already in AHCI mode. I
thought it wasn't set because a samba performance issue, but it goes
away after reboot ... I hope this issue has gone definitely.

Regards

And of course the root parameter to the kernel image in grub.

What I dont know is that the UUID will change when you change the sata
mode, you can check it out with blkid(8).

Another way is using the by-id or by-path format, check /dev/disk/by-*

The UUID is part of the file system, so won't change with the disk
interface change. Use dumpe2fs or tune2fs -l to see the UUID on
ext[234]fs, or xfs_admin -u on xfs.
