[Bug 150399] Re: "Create new >Link to > Hard disk device" doesn't work with UUIDs/LABELs in fstab

[pelle.k]

This still applies to the Hardy Heron (using the beta ATM), and the solution to the problem is really simple,  but since ubuntu and kubuntu shares base packages, it may not be the best idea to have kubuntu do it's own thing with /etc/fstab.
Anyway, you can do what ubuntu does with UUID= using /dev/disk/by-uuid, and all of a sudden kde can create a valid "shortcut to hard disk device" on the desktop. same same, but different ;)

A note to anyone reading this. If you want to convert your /etc/fstab, then run this command(s);
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak; sed 's|UUID=|\/dev\/disk\/by-uuid\/|' /etc/fstab.bak | sudo tee /etc/fstab
