Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

It would be nice if when /etc/fstab is generated it would add a comment documenting using vol_id --uuid to find the uuid for a partition to add it.

This bug was fixed in the package partman-target - 58ubuntu2

---------------
partman-target (58ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * /media must be on the root file system (although subdirectories may be
    mounted separately), since the installer relies on being able to mount
    things like /media/cdrom during installation. Check this (LP: #16871).
  * Expand comment above each UUID-mounted partition, based on a suggestion
    by Daniel Pocock in Debian #509378.
  * Add a note about 'vol_id --uuid' to the top of /etc/fstab; thanks to
    Chris Cheney for the suggestion (LP: #221474).
