Using dd to back up a disk leaves the copy with the exact same UUID as the source. So it is just down to random timing and order of operations as to which disk it will choose, so using /dev/sda instead of UUID is one possible solution, but there are UUID values in lots more places than /etc/fstab. (grub.cfg for one, but other files as well like the /boot/loader/entries files). Personally, I'd just use rsync to back up the contents of sda rather than doing a dd of the whole disk. That way everyone could have their own UUIDs. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
