Re: 2 Disks (by label/UUID)
I had also the issue with the UUIDS. However, I did not flash the kernel
in-between, I only changed /etc/fstab.
Also -- at least in my case -- it was sufficient to try to mount *some*
filesystem, not necessarly the rootfs. (Maybe, Stuart, can you try this
too? Does it break if you use UUIDS on some other fs than the rootfs?)
I do not have the hardware here to hook up the serial interface on my
thecus, so I cannot debug that right now.
BTW, As I made a backup of /etc before reinstalling to armel, I actually
have this offending fstab, (just the UUID changed, as this stick is
still in use...)
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/md0 / ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime,commit=36000 0 1

tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults 0 0
#tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0
