Public bug reported:
When gnome-disk-utility formats a disk it assigns a new UUID.
UUID is the preferred way to identify disks in fstab.
Problem is that gnome-disk-utility does *not* update fstab.
As a consequence the system will not boot & newbies will be stumped. (I was
for two days).
Therefore gnome-disk-utility must check fstab and if appropriate
not assign a new UID
or
update fstab
or
alert the user to update fstab.
And, yes, this is a bug, albeit a bug in the design, but still a bug.
