with all the talk against systemd which should be dumped or the distros forked to remove it I have another older problem uuid is a pain to use .
the old way of /dev/* was easier to use and remember if you made a backup of this it would work on another drive whereas uuid ties you to one drive.
cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda7 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
is there a way back for 11.4 and 13.1??
What exactly do you mean by "way back"? Other than replacement of /dev/hdX## with /dev/sdX## long before 11.4, you get the same opportunities with 13.2, 13.1, 12.3, 12.2, 12.1 and 11.4 (in addition to the special ones for LVM and RAID): /dev/sdX## /dev/disk/by-id/* /dev/disk/by-label/* (also aka LABEL=) /dev/disk/by-path/* /dev/disk/by-uuid/* Use whatever suits your fancy. Each has positive and negative attributes. I mostly use LABEL=, a bit of /dev/sdX##, and rarely the other three, for my fstabs and grub configs. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
