That may be true if you have more than one disk of a given type, but if you have only one SATA drive and one NVMe, for instance, there's no chance of their being misnumbered at boot. My workstation has one NVMe drive and two SATAs. They're always detected in the same order, so I've no need to render my fstab illegible with UUIDs. I could use labels, but why bother? The old system ain't broke, so I've no need to fix it. Can you imagine an fstab with 22 partitions specified with UUIDs? Doesn't bear thinking about. -- Regards, Peter.
