JanC*ugh*07:36
JanCseems like a lot of docs linked from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DrivesAndPartitions use device names instead of UUID in instructions for fstab   :-(07:36

Admiral_ChicagoJanC: the bot links to tuxfile which uses /dev/07:55
Admiral_Chicago!partion07:55
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about partion - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi07:55
Admiral_Chicagoopps, let me get the link07:55
JanCAdmiral_Chicago: so the bot needs a change too ?07:55
Admiral_Chicagohttp://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html07:55
Admiral_Chicagothats what fstab says07:56
Admiral_Chicagoi think it needs to like to something better07:56
Admiral_Chicagoi just follow tuxfiles because all that UUID thing is hard to read for me...07:56
JanCUbuntu needs UUID/LABEL, not /dev/*, or systems will break because of the libata migration07:57
JanCespecially PATA disks07:57
JanCbut also with some SATA controllers IIRC07:57
Admiral_ChicagoJanC: i know, it also makes it difficult when upgrading kernel with /dev/*07:57
Admiral_Chicagobut we aren't linking to good enought tools07:58
JanCa GUI tool to edit fstab correctly would be nice...  ;)07:59
Admiral_Chicagoi don't mind doing it CLI but i haven't seen a good guide :(08:02
Admiral_ChicagoJanC: wouldit be neccesary to filed a bug report?08:05
JanCjust "sudo vol_id -u /dev/blah" and then put UUID=<theuuid> instead of the device name...08:06
JanCAdmiral_Chicago: you mean like: "all documentation should be checked for correct information about fstab" ?08:07
Admiral_Chicagoi'll try that.08:07
Admiral_Chicagowell i'll go through the latest svn and see about it.08:08
Admiral_ChicagoJanC: i'll do it in a bit.08:08
JanCthese are community docs, so it's a wiki, I don't think the official docs have anything about fstab08:09
JanC?08:09
Admiral_Chicagoi'll have to check after I get ready. bbiab08:09
