Hi Mark, while multi-booting I use the device name in fstab,
/dev/sd?? none swap sw 0 0, it works for all my installed systems.
It is not always reliable with multiple drives, because device names are
not stable across reboots. So it is advised to use persistent
identifiers such as UUID or LABEL instead.
Yes, what you say is true, but not very often and from what I've seen is
due to mainboard setup or defects in the mainboard causing the bad setup
due to mainboard SATA connection being mislabeled. But if everything is
correct and you are using lets say sda1 as root in your fstab your
system will use sda1 as the LABEL, I've seen this over and over.
But all this is advanced setup for people running more than one Linux
system and having to edit UUID on all systems because you install a new
system is undesirable.
