Would some combination of 'fdisk -l' or 'parted' (using the print command) do the trick?

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.

I looked at tune2fs, but I'm not sure it this is the right tool or how to use it correctly.

I just need the fstab to list drives/partitions by type.

Suggestions....?

Just change fstab Don't forget to check (before reboot) on /boot/grub/menu.lst, change there accordingly.

Why not? There's no difference for a new additional drive.

I assume it is because the id does not match the specific drive that the Recover Disk was made from.

yast2 partitioner has an option where you saw how fstab should be written.

Thanks, I'll look at this...
