Yes, at least on those platforms using partman (some, such as mips and s390 will continue to use partconf which uses the partconf-mkfstab package for /etc/fstab). In partman, all filesystems have a /fstab.d/ directory with a files outputting a proper fstab entry. > Just wondering if it's worthwhile getting with the times (compared to Red > Hat) and using filesystem labels or UUIDs in /etc/fstab instead of block > devices?

Someone mentioned UUIDs on IRC the other day and it sounds interesting; but can you give a specific example for those you've never seen this before? Also, can we use UUIDs and old /dev/xx names together? -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
