How exactly MBR signature or GPT GUID help here?
Not at all. At least grub has no concept of "use partition where the files actually reside". Instead it has some odd device.map.
grub2 is (most likely) not any better.
I didn't say that grub2 can handle those IDs.
But in general, why shouldn't it be possible to tell a bootloader to install on the disk with a specific ID?
I'm afraid I lost track which problem is discussed here. It started with LABEL being less reliable than UUID for partition reference and by-id having potential problem after cloning disk (or disk replacement in general). How exactly using MBR signature/GPT GUID fits into it?
That would be nice since the ID does not change like the by-id links sometimes do.
by-id links change only if disk changes. In which case as I already said you most likely will at least install new partition table on it which will have new signature. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
