Stefan and are you sure that you selected "mount-by label" globaly in storage for all partitions and disks? (not only write label for some partitions)

No, I'm not. (the new partitioner is overly complicated and confusing anyway and I have no Idea where to select that).

please look at /etc/sysconfig/storage and there check value of "DEVICE_NAMES" ;-) if it is not "label" -> you know where is the problem ;-)

DEVICE_NAMES="id" But until now I did not even know that such a file exists.

I check global settings of storage for yast2-bootloader not only for partitions. It should be cause why your root is /dev/disk/by-id/...

But if it gets mounted in fstab by label, it should also be by-label in menu.lst. I don't know and I don't care for any system wide settings, but this stuff needs to be consistent, or it will break on users without them having a chance to understand why. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I fully agree. Comment #9:

Please look at FATE #302219 my comment #14.

Please note that FATE #302219 has nothing to do with setting a global default for the persistent device types ("by-id", "by-label", ...) of *partition* devices ("/dev/sda3", "/dev/hda5" ...). But this was probably implemented, and that is why you see this behaviour... Comment #7 describes something which could be misunderstood in this way, and I talked to Ihno about this problem when he wrote it. Anyhow, at that time it was more pressing to talk with yast2-storage people about their reservations against this feature. I talked to them in person. Comment #10 in the feature, from the second paragraph on, summarizes this discussion. The baseline is: yast did not give the user the choice to define the persistent device type ("by-id", "by-label", ...) for *disk* device names ("/dev/sda", "/dev/hda" ...). I was campaigning to offer this setting in yast2-storage, so that the settings for *both* the *partition* device names and the *disk* device names are provided by yast2-storage (a default setting for all of them, and individual settings if the users configures this). This would be consistent and easy to use from a user perspective. Alas, yast2-storage people at that time did not feel responsible for *disk* device settings, just for *partition* device settings. The latter are stored in /etc/fstab, but *disk* device settings need not be configured in /etc/fstab. I hoped that the *individual* settings for the *disk* device names (i.e. settings that override the global setting) could be stored elsewhere by yast2-storage, e.g. in /etc/sysconfig/storage. But obviously now the *global* setting for *both disk and storage* devices is stored there. This was never requested by me. I was hoping comment #10 in the feature would clarify this, but it was rejected as a flame (as, to my dismay, Jozef repeated in comment #9 in this bug). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
