Well, it's midweek and I wanted to test this theory even tho it is |
| 22 |
early. Plus, it's raining outside so I'm a bit bored. I pulled the |
| 23 |
backup drive from the safe and did a backup. While it was backing up |
| 24 |
new stuff, I ran this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
root@fireball / # blkid | grep dde669 |
| 28 |
/dev/mapper/8tb: LABEL="8tb-backup" |
| 29 |
UUID="0277ff1b-2d7c-451c-ae94-f20f42dde669" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" |
| 30 |
root@fireball / # ls /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep dde669 |
| 31 |
0277ff1b-2d7c-451c-ae94-f20f42dde669 |
| 32 |
root@fireball / # |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|

I just grepped the last little bit of the UUID to see if anything else |
| 36 |
matched. It didn't. I tried both methods just in case. It was |
| 37 |
grasping at straws a bit but hey, sometimes that straw solves the |
| 38 |
problem. I might add, I unmounted the drive and cryptsetup closed it |
| 39 |
first time with not a single error. It didn't even burp. Given I've |
| 40 |
done this several times with no problem after doing the UUID way with |
| 41 |
consistent errors, I think it is safe to assume that changing from UUID |
| 42 |
to labels solves this problem. The question now is this, why? It's not |
| 43 |
like one mounts something different or anything. It's the same device, |
| 44 |
just using a different link basically. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
This is thoroughly confusing. It just doesn't make sense at all. |
| 47 |
Either way should work exactly the same. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I'm open to ideas on this. Anybody have one? I'll test it if I can |
| 50 |
even if it is a serious grasp at a small straw. ;-) |
