It seems as if by-id is only used on fresh installs. Does distribution upgrade rewrite fstab (and boot/grub/menu.lst) from old-format (hdX/sdX) to by-id ?
If yes, why wasn't this code run during the Beta1 upgrade ? If no, how are we going to support such systems ? Forcing a new install ?
Same old story, we need to collect the mapping from the running system, and use that information for the update, or require a manual device re-mapping by the user. There is no way to keep any kernel device name in any configuration file, like sdX in fstab, on the updated system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
