This request is mainly to > support https://github.com/falconindy/geninit/commit/72272da8a855d9551c04de9ba502f3befb2a91d5 This is on my TODO list for long time :-) Maybe Iill have time to implement it for 2.21 (the end of this year). It would be nice to support the UUIDs in mount and fsck. Then we can use it in projects like dracut or in /etc/fstab, etc. Karel -- Karel Zak http://karelzak.blogspot.com
