Isn't ghost a full-disk backup/restore solution? If it is, then UUIDs should work correctly in such an environment. On the flip side, ghost would also not work with device names in the event that you tried to do a backup/restore between a system whose controller uses libata and one whose controller does not. So it's not as if avoiding UUIDs is a reliable solution either. In any event, I do acknowledge (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/62195/comments/30) that this is a completed transition, and it would be reasonable to drop the UUID migration support now for intrepid for that reason. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
