So, if *before* duplication, you change all instances of 
"UUID=xxxxxxxxxxx" to "/dev/sdax" for fstab and grub.cfg, won't this 
solve your problem?

I also think there is no need to do the
# GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
and also unnecessary to do "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"

because when duplicated disk is placed at new computer, any upgrade-grub 
will pull in the corrected UUID for grub.cfg. Of course fstab will 
remain at /dev/sdx.

Does this make any sense?

Finally, my take on the whole episode is that at duplication, UUID 
changes for the hardware (disks) but of course the *lines* at fstab and 
grub.cfg does not change. I think that's what the people here are saying 
but it was misunderstood to mean the other way round.
Again, does that make any sense?
