I would like to mark this as duplicate for 175923 because it requires the same
solution.

digikam will find your partition by the UUID and store the path from that
partition's mount point on (mount point is not relevant).
In the absence of a nice tool to do the job, and if you want to keep your album
thumbnails descend to the digikam4.db database file and change the UUID of your
old disk to your new partition's one. Something like
UPDATE AlbumRoots SET identifier='volumeid:?uuid=...' WHERE id=...;
Ask back if it doesnt work

Completely different: You cannot do much about the image thumbnails if the
_mount path_ changed (They are stored by path hash. In fact, it is possible to
write a script that takes the old path and the new path, the hashes and renames
the thumbnails. I dont know of such a tool so far)
