Hi All,

Want to disable UUID, and address hardware directly by device and 
partition specs.  Did it on my current system (~ 4 years ago), happy.

But see differences in files/contents in Trusty, and want your expert 
advice, before I start changing things.

My knowledge is low. (Barely understand what I'm writing.) Can follow 
clear simple step-by-step instructions, or grateful for links to same.

New system is Gigabyte MB, IntelCore i5 CPU, SATA HDD, dual booting on 
64-bit Windoze plus just-released Trusty 64-bit Desktop.

Here's what I =would= do...

(1)  Edit  /etc/default/grub  to remove the # at the start of line...
    #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true"

(2)  Edit  /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib  to comment out the 3 lines 
starting...
    if FS_UUID= (etc.)
... but that line doesn't exist in that file.

(3)  Edit  /etc/fstab  and change very instance of UUID= (etc.) into the 
corresponding drive and partition e.g. /dev/sda2

(4)  Edit  /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume  and change UUID=RESUME= 
(etc.) into the corresponding drive and partition e.g. /dev/sda2

(5)  Run  update-grub

(6)  Then re-do all the above each time I do a kernel upgrade.

So please:  Your advice, keeping to my original goal of 
disabling/bypassing UUID.  What am I forgetting?  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks VERY much,

Carl Turney
Bayswater, Vic
