Not quite sure what this will show/do as he said the 2nd disk will not
boot. fdisk -l and blkid as root will give the drive details.
A simple procedure will show the disk labels/UUIDs
fdisk -l | grep "^/dev" | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v swap | grep -v Ext
> /tmp/partlabels
for i in `cat /tmp/partlabels`
do
cmdlog "e2label $i"
cmdlog "dumpe2fs $i"
done
rm /tmp/partlabels
