[LIVE] Hard Drive ID's keep changing on reboot. - DejaVu - 2011-07-09
I have 4 internal drives that keep changing their ID's everytime I reboot.
I dont know if it makes a different, but the XBMCLive drive is on an IDE drive, the rest are SATA, where all my Media is.
After my initial install, I scrapped the drives and everything was fine. When I rebooted, everything was missing.
I can see it's something to do with FSTAB and UUID's and configuring them upon startup, but it's all new to me and a little confusing.
Can anyone lend a hand?
For Example,
/dev/sda1 changes to /dev/sdc1

You can generate a list of UUID's of disks with the following command:
Quote:ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
These UUID's can be used in the /etc/fstab file to have the harddisks automounted on boot to a location of your choice which wont change.

Indeed. If you execute blkid you can just copy the relevant UUID="xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxx" and replace /dev/sdxy in your fstab with it.
