Any suggestions? Re-formating a partition will generate a new UUID. If you want to write a "stable" fstab just use LABELs instead and make sure you assign the same label every time you reformat the partition. (You can set the UUID at re-formating as well, but LABELs are easier to handle in such a scenario) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
