Talk:Persistent block device naming
Enabling persistent naming in /etc/fstab is easy, just replace the device name in the first column by the new persistent name. In my example I would replace /dev/sda7 by one of the following:
/dev/disk/by-label/home or /dev/disk/by-uuid/31f8eb0d-612b-4805-835e-0e6d8b8c5591 Do so for all the partitions in your fstab file.
... is this really truely ?
I have to use :
UUID=31f8eb0d-612b-4805-835e-0e6d8b8c5591 /home
or I understood somewhat wrongly.

- It works, yes. But I prefer LABEL over UUID:
- LABEL=HOME-jfs /home nodev,nosuid,noatime 0 2
