I use Archlinux x86_64 and I was thinking about using Unique GUID of a GPT partition to identify root partition from the bootloader's (syslinux and grub2 in my case) kernel parameter line. Right now I use root=3D/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxx (FS-UUID) and want to try PART-UUID. http://git.kernel.org/?p=3Dlinux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.g= it;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=B5af921ec02333e943efb59aca4f56b78fc0e100 does not work in my case (x86_64 kernel 2.6.37-rc8). How about creating /dev/disk/by-part-uuid/xxxxxxx symlinks and renaming the previous dir to /dev/disk/by-fs-uuid/xxxxxxxxxx (for clarity). The Unique GUID can be obtained using GPT fdisk http://rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ (I do not know whether util-linux-ng can be used here). Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav
