I can't tell you why it changed but after my device names got messed |
| 18 |
around with (after an upgrade) and the next boot mounted /home on /tmp |
| 19 |
and an initscript blew away a bunch of home directories before I caught |
| 20 |
it I switched to mounting via UUID. Once you find the UUID to use it's |
| 21 |
easy and alleviates lots of problems in the future. |
