Hi,
I've used this technique (in general) on earlier versions of Ubuntu for years, with no apparent problems.
But I want more knowledgeable folk to give me feedback, especially regarding any recent changes in Ubuntu's boot-up.
Yes, I know of the advantages of UUID, and the pitfalls of relying on device names, but UUIDs thwart my elegant backup system, and I have mediating human-based procedures in place.
So, are the following steps correct, succinct, and complete?
***** STEP 1
In /etc/default/grub un-comment the line...
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=”true”
***** STEP 2
In /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib comment-out the (2) lines starting...
if fs_uuid=
WAIT! That leaves some loose “else” and “fi” lines still present. That's OK??
***** STEP 3
In /etc/fstab change every instance of UUID=(etc.)
to the appropriate drive and partition (e.g. /dev/sda1)
***** STEP 4
In /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume change RESUME=UUID=(etc.)
into RESUME=(the appropriate drive and partition e.g. /dev/sda1)
***** STEP 5
Run update-grub
***** STEP 6
Repeat steps 1 through 5 every time there is a kernel upgrade.
UNSURE: Should I do those steps before or after an upgrade reboot?
Thanks in advance for your comments, questions, and suggestions.
