You forgot to email to the list.
Sorry bout that....
I can't create a Bare Metal Disaster Recovery CD.
fstab records the Drives listed by ID > "/dev/disk/by-id/SCSI-SSEAGATE_ST........" So if a new drive is encountered it can't be mounted. Why not?
I didn't quite follow this comment. Is it or is it not okay to edit the fstab manually.
Of course it is ok, I do it all the time. I meant that I don't understand why you say a new drive can not be mounted manually.
Not manually, the Disaster Recovery Software fails, I assume because the drive id for the new drive doesn't match fstab.. I'm working with them on that issue. I thought that if I could modify the fstab to match 10.2 the process would be less complicated. The list by id seems to be new in 10.3, I'm not sure if that is better or just complicates.
I can imagine a scenario where booting up is no longer possible without further repair.
I also wonder why you would want to list by id in first place... Seems like replacing a hard drive becomes quite difficult...?
Because the names like hda, sda... can change, some even on the boot order. They are no longer stable, unfortunately, so they switched to that scheme. I prefer mounting "by-label". You have several choices:
cer@nimrodel:~> ls /dev/disk/ by-id by-label by-path by-uuid
and all of them are symlinks to the physical devices (sda, etc).
