I agree. That is why I used UUID for the fstab entries. But this drive ordering issue is specific to the installer. The preseed is expecting a /dev/sd* type of entry in order for partman to partition the correct drive...or in my case (using software RAID1) drives. > I advise to not hardcode /dev/sd* anywhere and use persistent > identifiers instead. As stated above, I am not using /dev/sd* anywhere other than in the preseed which requires it.
