Sure. I intended to do so from the beginning. I just don't really feel like shoving this into Karmic at this point. > And enjoy all the errors you get during upgrades where people's > filesystems suddenly change from the snapshot to the origin as they're > mounted by UUID :p I'm still struggling to come up with a use case where mounting the (well, not "the" as much as "an arbitrary") snapshot is preferred over mounting the origin. The only problem I see is if people actually unnoticed have been affected by this, and have simply started using the snapshot instead of the origin, so changing it back will seem like data loss (since any changes made to the snapshot suddenly is gone). In other words, I'm not comfortable SRU'ing this into e.g. Hardy, but I think we should make the change for Lucid and add a release note saying that if you relied on this (I doubt anyone does so *on purpose*, but still), you will want to do something to handle it (like point to the lv by name rather than UUID). -- disk/by-uuid/foo symlink points to snapshot rather than the origin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
