Bug Description
Binary package hint: partman-base
I installed Ubuntu from a Maverick pre-release, I believe.
The top of my /etc/fstab reads:
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
Here's the output of 'blkid -o value -s UUID' on my system:
# blkid -o value -s UUID
41fe5a06-
0a79a7ec-
3030764d-
16403f4a-
6dcbfd60-
7b2f25c7-
f66ea478-
That gives no information about which partitions correspond to which UUIDs!
The command that is more useful is 'blkid -o full -s UUID'
# blkid -o full -s UUID
/dev/sda1: UUID="41fe5a06-
/dev/sda2: UUID="0a79a7ec-
/dev/sda5: UUID="3030764d-
/dev/sda6: UUID="16403f4a-
/dev/sdb1: UUID="6dcbfd60-
/dev/sdb5: UUID="7b2f25c7-
/dev/sdb6: UUID="f66ea478-
