Title:
  disabling uuid is difficult and poorly documented

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Imaging disks via dd is a common, simple task that worked until recent
  ubuntu releases that find filesystems by UUID.  That has advantages,
  but gets in the way of disk imaging.

  The bug is that it's painful to make grub work in the old, disk-
  imaging friendly way, and using common search terms to find the
  information online does not readily uncover the solution.  I've
  written up the solution here as a workaround:

  no-such-device.html

  This bug is related to #499483, but that bug wandered off into some
  debate we don't care about.
