I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve introduced to your post. They are very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. May just you please extend them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

After install Windows 8, I don’t see Ubuntu. Now with the right UUID, I found a light in the road.

interesting question I have. I ran gparted and copied a partition and now both partitions show the same UUID – how will this effect the setup? Its interesting because I made one primary and one logical and when running blkid they show the same UUID.

thanks for the tips. UUIDs were blocking my path in a ReadyNAS recovery – I didn’t realise they were an Ubuntu concept rather than a Netgear’s.

I needed to update /etc/fstab to be sure the same devices are mounted at the same mount points in a 5TB system comprised of both internal SATA and external USB hdd’s. This info worked like a charm-school graduate .

I used partition name /dev/sda* in /etc/fstab to correct the problem and was wondering on how to find out the correct UUID to make it the proper way. This article came up first on Google and was of great help. I have visited Wikipedia and I learned something about UUID.Thanks for the really needed info.

“blkid” and “ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid” also work in Arch Linux (which isn’t based on any distribution).

Thanks for the info. Bookmarked.

Great stuff – the only small wrinkle was that I had to use sudo blkid as mentioned above. I upgraded a 2-disk RAID0 array to a 4-disk RAID5 array, and this article was the last link in the chain, to let me put the new UUID into /etc/fstab.

another way to find uuid is the command:

sudo vol_id -u /dev/hda1

replace hda1 with the partition for which you wish to find the UUID

After resizing my swap partition with GParted on Ubuntu 8.10 I had to format it to reflect the new size. Then I found out after reboot that no swap was activated because UUID had changed. I used partition name /dev/sda* in /etc/fstab to correct the problem and was wondering on how to find out the correct UUID to make it the proper way. This article came up first on Google and was of great help. Keep up the good work!
