One reason for UUID is, when you do some hardware maintenance and reconnect the drives to different sata ports the naming can change. The previous /dev/sdb may become /dev/sdd etc. Using UUID make you to some degree independent from cabling and ports. > > > > But, should I use 0 0 above, or 1 2, given that /home is 1 2.

The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1. Other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware.

So after editing the /etc/fstab, I have to do, per the file itself: sudo systemctl daemon-reload Do I need to do anything else to mount the drive?
