: I don't even have to edit the on-disk grub.cfg or do a new mkinitrd.
Since both grub2 and dracut ignore system settings (they enforce by-uuid) its helpful to rerun mkinitrd, grub-mkconfig and grub-install to update their view on the system.
Could you please expand/document/reference that assertion.
I've been using, for example, grub2, for many years and booting with "by-label" in the config.
The kernel parameters in grub use label, yes, but the lines belonging to grub use uuid.
I'm still experimenting with Dracut. I have no argument with the permanence and uniqueness of UUDI, despite what Linda says, but my point about intelligibility of those long strings holds.
You can change manually the uuid, and write a label instead, while it is a uuid. Or use an hybrid. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
