I come from Fedora and I studied the Ubuntu fstab and have
questions. Here is what I think is the line that boots Ubuntu:
# /dev/hda8
UUID=a9c1cb61-ddfd-44f6-88b0-6dc976daf9ca / ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
So I left that working but I have never seen the UUID= before. Can
someone explain that?
I found what looked like the lines that put ALL my other Linux in
nice boxes on my Desktop which are worthless to me. If I want to get
something from another partition I just mount it to /mnt. So I put a #
in front of them all and to my pleasure they are all gone. This might be
nice if you have one other partition but I have 7!
Looked and my Ubuntu partition is already 71% used up. I plan to
make another large partition /karl and I will pick it up and put it on
/home in fstab. So I need to know about the UUID thing :-)
