[Bug 996443] Re: use UUID=0 for this partition, e.g. in fstab

2012-05-11 Thread André Pirard
Yes, using the real well known UUID of the booting partition to replace UUID=0 is quite possible during the boot process (egg laying time if you like). I am not, of course, speaking of determining which hen^H^H^H UUID to boot, which is a cock^H^H^H^H pre-boot instead of boot matter. Please

Thank you for affecting this report. Please notice that using UUID=0 as an alias of a real UUID is not a GParted matter but one of some disk management component. Gparted renaming an UUID is only part of the whole story and you may want to open an additional bug for it with the same text, one
