At least in Debian, this only results in reverting to the old "sdxn" format (with the potential problems that UUIDs were intended to deal with - it doesn't support "LABEL=root". Personally, while I see the point, I find UUIDs a bit of a PITA when migrating/upgrading stuff. Labelling the partitions is a lot easier than writing out the UUID and entering it into a system that's being upgraded/migrated. Or trying to remember what partitions you're going to end up with - yes I've had issues when moving VMs where I've got my xvdXn's mixed up ! _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
