Hi all,
I am not a programmer, just a user. I use Archlinux x86_64
and I was thinking about using Unique GUID of a GPT partition to
identify root partition from the bootloader's (syslinux and grub2 in
my case) kernel parameter line. Right now I use
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxx (FS-UUID) and want to try
PART-UUID. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b5af921ec02333e943efb59aca4f56b78fc0e100
does not work in my case (x86_64 kernel 2.6.37-rc8). How about
creating /dev/disk/by-part-uuid/xxxxxxx symlinks and renaming the
previous dir to /dev/disk/by-fs-uuid/xxxxxxxxxx (for clarity). The
Unique GUID can be obtained using GPT fdisk
http://rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ (I do not know whether util-linux-ng can
be used here). Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Keshav
