Question How is this possible UUIDs changing every reboot


Hi everyone,

I have installed CrunchBang, then I moved the /tmp and /var to different partitions (I like to put these on reiserfs) the reason I did it after the install is because CrunchBang's installer doesn't give me the options to create reiserfs partitions during install (but does recognise reiserfs as I can manually mount them). Also these two partitions are logical.

Anyway I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 already installed and working fine but CrunchBang always changes the UUIDs of /var and /tmp when I reboot. Is that even possible

I have also tried using the old method of /dev/sd** but of course that gets changed as well.

The Computer has 3 hard drives connected.

Thanks for any help

If it's happening, it's possible, and intriguing.

Is there an initrd in this? Have you checked exactly how they are being mounted? On some filesystems you can specify uuid & gid in fstab.

Please, post your output of "mount" and "blkid" command and fstab file.

Instead of that go to sf.net, get and run the bootinfoscript. Post the RESULTS.txt.
Don't take this personally, but I think this is all *extremely* unlikely.
