Re: Disabling UUID in grub-mkconfig_lib

[Carl Turney]

Hi Richard, Andrei, and Simon,

Thanks for the helpful replies.

Richard:  I would have rewritten and resubmitted my question, but didn't 
get around to it.

Andrei:  So, if I just changed that =one= line in /etc/default/grub the 
bootup system will automatically ignore all the UUID references (and 
somehow find the =correct= devices and partitions) in fstab, resume, and 
grub-mkconfig_lib -- and I don't even have to run update-grub2 ? 
Fascinating.

Simon:  I see your fellow concerns about UUID, and maybe my discovery 
will be of some help to you.  My own motivations for overcoming UUID 
were much more than one of convenience.  PLEASE NOTE:  My overriding of 
UUIDs are compensated by ALWAYS visually confirming device identities 
when put to use.

Basically, I got tired of writing to various forums, mailing lists, and 
individuals -- and not getting apparently-adequate responses.

So, I finally just created a scratch system, and tried my proposal (as 
outlined in the original post).

It seems to work.  Whether I've performed an overkill, or have set a 
time bomb that will blow up in my face at some later date, I have no idea.

I just needed to get my systems working the way I wanted them to.

Cheers,
