fstab: use UUID or labe?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Question about fault tolerance and choice of ID. I'm running btrfs
with subvolumes for / and /home. /boot and grub are on a thumb drive.
I have six drives in the system, running raid1 for both data and
metadata.

When I run "sudo btrfs fi show" it provides both the label and the
uuid. The UUID shown is the same as that for the first partition that
btrfs was installed on.

In fstab, the mount points currently use that UUID to identify the file system.

If the original drive fails, will that UUID still point to the
filesystem, or is it better to use the label for the filesystem? Will
the filesystem mount in either case with the failure of the original
drive?

Thanks

Rory
