Contemplate if you will ramifications of device names and UUIDs among the following excerpts
I don't even know the point of that is. At this point, I really don't want to spend the time teasing out what tht means.
IOW, you see selectively. Small wonder you have configuration troubles. The point was with more than a nominal quantity of partitions spread across multiple HDs, something more than device names, and easier to remember than UUIDs, is more than merely useful. Lucky for us, the kernel devs several years ago already came up with multiple *alternatives* to device names that work more reliably overall in modern environments where EFI, hotplugging, mixed bus types and other complications that didn't exist 2 decades ago now exist. As the newer are the more reliable overall, device names are no longer default. No way defaults can please all of the people all of the time. So, if you want to use device names, you need to take personal action to enable it. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
