crypttab and UUID / swap creation

https://bbs.archlinux.org – silentsnake wrote:the man page for crypttab(5) says that one can specify a block device via UUID= followed by the UUID. I tried this and this does NOT work, at least not with the default init system. (Maybe it works with systemd, I didn't try.) It works fine using the UUID path, like /dev/disk/by-uuid/<my_uuid>. Since I just changed the prefix UUID= to the path without touching the UUID itself, it is not likely to be a typo or any other user error. Is there anything wrong or it is a known bug?Looks like a bug to me (I see no code to deal with this in systemd, and initsrcipts does no (HowTos)

Stories similar to crypttab and UUID / swap creation

Hi, thx for your answers.First of all i dont use lvm.Yes there is another physical disk. So i will try to switch defining my discs by UUID, I didnt used it yet so, I propably should change all of records, isnt it? Thats mean grub,crypttab a fstab or there is anything else?

ive got md0 (raid 1) array and want to make write cache off on them during system boot (ubuntu 12.04 server).

md0: /dev/sda /dev/sdc

blkid:

/dev/sda: UUID="3e502de5-696d-f4b4-470e-XXX" TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/md0: UUID="a7eb2443-c3be-45e6-a3eb-XXX" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc: UUID="3e502de5-696d-f4b4-470e-XXX" TYPE="linux_raid_member"

hdparm -W 0 /dev/sda (or /dev/sdc) works ok, but this l

I was following this advice here exactly. After I got the UUID of the second partition on the second drive using sudo blkid, I added it to fstab like this..(substituting my UUID here).

Code: UUID=MYID...  /media/MYID...  ext4    errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user 0      0 The drive mounts fine, but at the top in the title bar my UUID shows rather than

At some point, a kernel or other update has removed or is no longer creating the /dev/disk/by-uuid folder; only by-id and by-path are in /dev/disk. Missing the uuid causes a problem on boot because fstab is configured to use UUID=mumble for mounting two of the drives.

UUID Changed 49 weeks 1 day ago

Been a while since I posted here. Has anyone ever seen a uuid change? I had a power outage for a couple of hours and when i brought the f16 box back up the uuid for one of the drives had changed. Always sucks when you have to enter single user mode to change fstab.

UUID for vfat partition? 3 years 30 weeks ago

I recently upgraded from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11 on a dual boot system. (I used a fresh install rather than using the upgrade option.) Windows XP rsides on /dev/sda and Linux on /dev/sdb. During installation, UUIDs were asigned to my partitions, but I made a mistake with the vfat partitions on /dev/sda. Namely, there are actually three partitions sda1 (Dell untilities) .

I believe uuid is only used by NetworkManager and not by the standard 'network' service. If you are not using NM then you can forget the uuid. [by TrevorH]

Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this issue so I figured I could do it here. It's both a GRUB and BURG issue, both work the same way. Anyways, I have GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu13. I just did some modifications to my partitions using GParted. Everything went fine and my other OSses were detected fine by the OS-prober script. I had a problem with my Archlinux partition though.

Just installed Fedora 17 from scratch to a clean disk and have a couple of issues.

During boot, the system hangs for ~15-30 secs after the entry Started Recreate Volatile Files and Directories appears on the console.
