I have found that use of LABEL=FOO in /etc/fstab doesn't always solve
the problem of disks being reassigned during boot.
That's because fstab isn't used during boot. What root= setting is

PARTUUID stands for Partition Table UUID, which is entirely different
from a Partition UUID. Clear as mud, eh?
IMHO it does seem like a better

You can use whatever you want whenever you want. Exactly. Just start naming them different birds or your favorite genus and species. Just pick something and stick with it. I don't know if you have enough room for Anas_platyrhynchos, but you get my drift.

You cannot use labels with the root= parameters. That was provided as
some kind of hack a few years ago but has been removed since. You either
need to use an initramfs for labels or resort to UUIDs. See

Windows gives partitions shorter UUID's too, so that's a non-standard thing
on your /etc/fstab. I opted for LABELs.
By the way, is it possible to use LABELs without and initrd? I'll start

You are right: for grub-legacy you need to use the old hd(x,y) thingy.
Which i assume suffers from the same reassignment risk as the kernel's
/dev/sdX naming that prompted this discussion. Looks I'll be moving to
grub2.
