fstab

[Karl Larsen]

    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 :-)
