So I should be ok ?
Device IDs are different from UUIDs; device IDs depend on the hard disk serial number, while a UUID is stored in the filesystem. In your case, fstab is using device IDs, which remain constant across reboots, reconnections etc. So you should be ok.
Don't forget labels. You can name each partition with a label, and use it. Easier to guess than that rigmarole of letters and numbers :-) fstab: LABEL=a_storage /data/storage_a xfs defaults,nofail 1 3 Another method is by "path". Ie, there are four methods: cer@Elessar:~> l /dev/disk/by- by-id/ by-label/ by-path/ by-uuid/ - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
