Hi Jeremy:
I was running into what I think is the same problem see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223994 but no one is commenting
on it so, maybe there is something I am missing.
So I think the easiest solution is just to give the various
partitions labels and then use the labels in the grub menu.lst and the
fstab files. See here: http://osdir.com/ml/boot-
loaders.grub.bugs/2004-10/msg00039.html for the shortest example.
tune2fs does partition labeling
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Partition/ if you didn't know that
already. So you could name all the partitions after where they should
be eg /dev/sdb1 gets the label "/dev/sdb1" and then the fstab and grub
menu.lst get a LABEL=/dev/sdb1 and all's well. Then if you ever
reformat the disk you have to remember to reassign the partition label
but better than trying to figure out where that hard drive wandered off
to.
