Hi all, during an update all devices were changed from /dev/sdX to its UUID. This included /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab. Does somebody know, which package did the changes? As I had to reinstall and used my old configurations (backup), my UUIDs are now wrong. Of course, I can edit all files

You're welcome. No. You have to set it filesystem by filesystem with tune2fs -U [random|UUID] /dev/sdXY unless script a loop through your filesystems. (If you use UUID in the command above, you can/have to generate it with uuidgen.) Ok, I understand. So I can set a new UUID, but I
