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.

is there a way back for 11.4 and 13.1??
It depends. Since I've bee using LVM I've adopted names as well as applying LABELS to file systems So for me /dev/mapper/vgmain-vHome and /dev/disk/by-label/HOME and /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-vgmain-vHome are all intelligible and all map to the same file system. Similarly labels for ROOT BOOT USRSHARE DOCCO PHOTO MUSIC SWAP Yes, SWAP! you'll not on the mkswap man page that you can create a label :-) Are there /dev/* equivalents? Of course there are! But they are not so intelligible. ls -l /dev/mapper/vgmain-vROOT lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 22 15:27 /dev/mapper/vgmain-vROOT -> /dev//dm-10 ls -l /dev/mapper/vgmain-vHome lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct 22 15:27 /dev/mapper/vgmain-vHome -> /dev/dm-17 But is that any less intelligible than /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb1 ? -- What is character but the determination of incident what is incident but the illustration of character? - Henery James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
