[Bug 556732] Re: blkid not used in fstab

[EAB]

Snippet from menu.list:
title		Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-20-server
uuid		618c7d1f-ef8c-423b-9f32-e8731d15daf2
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-20-server root=UUID=618c7d1f-ef8c-423b-9f32-e8731d15daf2 ro quiet splash 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-20-server

/etc/fstab (after I fixed it):
UUID=618c7d1f-ef8c-423b-9f32-e8731d15daf2                                       /               xfs     defaults        0       0
UUID=409917ac-9244-4ae1-a5f8-d54b3b1665c6                                       swap            swap    defaults        0       0

The goal is to prevent issues when adding disks. When a new disk is
added and recognized before the current disk, the root and swap
partitions are not there (on the new added disk). /dev/sda is the new
disk and /dev/sdb1 is root and /dev/sdb2 is swap in this new situation.

UUIDs in fstab are used by default since 8.04.

I only asking to put this on a whislist.
plugins/ubuntu/dapper.py line 260 self.install_from_template('/etc/fstab', 'dapper_fstab', { 'parts' : disk.get_ordered_partitions(self.vm.disks), 'prefix' : self.disk_prefix })
And the template should use UUIDs.
