The user reports that the persistent name changes when switching from
2.6.29 to 2.6.30. Kernel bug or blkid bug?

Hmmm, downgrading libdevmapper1.02.1 and rebooting didn't fix it. Nor
did downgrading module-init-tools from 3.10-2 to 3.10-1. So I'm not sure
what package is at fault. Please reassign if you know.

Odd, there they are
by-id# ls -aLlog
brw-rw---- 1  3,  0 Aug 26 00:42 ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR
brw-rw---- 1  3,  1 Aug 26 00:42 ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR-part1
brw-rw---- 1  3,  3 Aug 26 00:42 ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR-part3...

But with my fstab,
by-id# mount -a
mount: special device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR-part6 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR-part7 does not exist...

This happens on both my Thinkpad and my desktop.

Wait, no wonder, comparing the strings reveals:
ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR-part3
                  ata-FUJITSU_MHT2040AT_NN4GT531H3AR-part3

How silly this name being repeated!

One might have thought it is related to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bugQ5598
but that is different.

I hope someone will reassign this bug to where it belongs. Thanks.
