The problem - with the by-id naming scheme is that the underlying device’s ID can + with the by-id naming scheme is that the underlying device's ID can change across reboots. This is an issue with the Hyper-V device platform, and is resolved by using either by-uuid or /dev/sdX naming conventions. Windows Server 2008 SP2: Intermittent failures observed. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1: Intermittent failures observed. Windows - Server “8” Beta: Intermittent failures observed.

The ask to switch from /dev/disk/by-id to /dev/disk/by-uuid for device naming should resolve these issues. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Users of OpenSUSE on Hyper-V will not need to modify /etc/fstab to change the device names. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313344
