LVM filesystems should be listed in /etc/fstab by name

Hi,

just a note extracted from Ubuntu Lucid Release Notes.

However I've not tested FAI behavior.

"LVM filesystems should be listed in /etc/fstab by name
In general, filesystems are listed in /etc/fstab by UUID rather than by
device name, to ensure that the filesystem can always be found reliably.
If you are mounting a filesystem located on LVM, however, it is
recommended that you list them in /etc/fstab by device name, not by
UUID, because UUIDs are not unique if LVM snapshots are used, which can
result in wrong filesystems being mounted at boot. (563902)"

Regards
Mât
