Hi,
I split a 4 TB HDD into two 2 TB partitions (GPT table). I formatted one partition as an ext4 file system and I want to dedicate it to work done on Ubuntu. The 2nd partition might be used later for work done on Windows. I thought this will be safer than having one FAT32 formatted partition shared by both operating systems.
It makes sense to me to use PARTUUID a not UUID since the former is partition specific. I assume I will need to append the /dev/fstab file with:
PARTUUID=XXXX /mydirectory ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2
And then use: mount -a
Before I do this I wanted to know if my thinking is correct. I guess I can also use the label name that I created for that specific partition. If I use UUID will I mount both partitions to the same point? Looking forward to your comments/suggestions!
Cheers,
Mike
