[Bug 573316] Re: after upgrading to ubuntu I have problems with booting due to a random swap of dev disk entries

[Steve Langasek]

mountall does not use any device names except those specified in
/etc/fstab.  Please attach an /etc/fstab showing this problem.

Title:
  after upgrading to ubuntu I have problems with booting due to a random
  swap of dev disk entries

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  since installing lucid I have serious problems at booting:
  I have a IDE disk and two SATA.
  root partition is in first partition of ide disk.
  the disks at each boot are given often different /dev entries, don't really know why, but that shouldn't matter much as entries in fstab and grub both use the UUID reference.
  The problem arises, it seems, when fsck is called at boot time.
  it seems that in fsck or mount the /dev approach is used, and not the by-uuid trick, so boot goes well only when, randomly, drives are given the same /dev name they had at install time.
