Hi All, Want to disable UUID, and address hardware directly by device and partition specs. Did it on my current system (~ 4 years ago), happy. But see differences in files/contents in Trusty, and want your expert advice, before I start changing things. My knowledge is low. (Barely understand what I'm writing.) Can follow clear simple step-by-step instructions, or grateful for links to same. New system is Gigabyte MB, IntelCore i5 CPU, SATA HDD, dual booting on 64-bit Windoze plus just-released Trusty 64-bit Desktop. Here's what I =would= do... (1) Edit /etc/default/grub to remove the # at the start of line... #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true" (2) Edit /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib to comment out the 3 lines starting... if FS_UUID= (etc.) ... but that line doesn't exist in that file. (3) Edit /etc/fstab and change very instance of UUID= (etc.) into the corresponding drive and partition e.g. /dev/sda2 (4) Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and change UUID=RESUME= (etc.) into the corresponding drive and partition e.g. /dev/sda2 (5) Run update-grub (6) Then re-do all the above each time I do a kernel upgrade. So please: Your advice, keeping to my original goal of disabling/bypassing UUID. What am I forgetting? What am I doing wrong? Thanks VERY much, Carl Turney Bayswater, Vic
