Hi List.
I have installed Squeeze from scratch using a USB stick.
The installer regarded that stick as "/dev/sda". So the
/etc/fstab that it installed lists my system disk (til now
always "/dev/sda") as "/dev/sdb", and similarly my 2nd
disk (til now "/dev/sdb") as "/dev/sdc".
If I now run 'mount' (with USB stick removed), it names
these devices as I had originally -- system disk '/dev/sda',
secondary '/dev/sdb'.
Meanwhile, /etc/fstab is specifying each device, not as
either of those names, but as a mile-long UUID number.
So my question: When I rebooting, can I safely assume
that, because fstab is using UUIDs and not "/dev/..."(s),
the system won't get confused?
Thanks,
Pete
