This kind of script would be very critical (can lead to unbootable system)
and there are *lots* of ways users can change their /etc/fstab and
/boot/grub/menu.lst
It is relatively easy for a installer starting from scratch to write
an initial configuration with UUID.
It is very difficult to write a conversion script that will work in
any case.
But, perhaps, it would be possible to print a warning pointing on docs
explaining how to do the transition when such a situation is detected ?
[this would also apply to the /dev/hd -> /dev/sd transition]
Regards,
Vincent
