It is not the UUID assigned by the OS. It is the disk's hardware ID that is assigned by the disk manufacturer. When changing the disk, this must be changed in /etc/fstab (as we use that when referencing the disk).
If the partition/s don't have unique UUID's they can't exist together.
This was about openSUSE 12.3, where disk UUIDs were not yet used (at least not in my installations). The ID I am referring to is the disk's manufacturer ID number.
As far as the mount point goes you can still use /dev/sxxx to mount. Use the boot installed system function on the installation disk and then run yast2 bootloader to fix grub.
We specifically do not use /dev/sdX because there are removable disks in the system. If a disk is added/removed, then the disk layout changes, and the disk assigned to sdX also change. The manufacturer's ID number never changes, This also why we do not use the generic network device ids, as their assignment, by default, is not consistent. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
