Yes, and the UUID is preserved if just delete a partition: Before: /dev/sda1 --> LFS-system ( / partition) /dev/sda2 --> unformatted partition; will be deleted /dev/sda3 --> boot partition ( /boot) After: /dev/sda1 --> LFS-system ( / partition) /dev/sda2 --> boot partition ( /boot) The boot partition will have the same UUID as before, because file system wasn't modified. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
