I have never come across the problem described by the Mint link. The closest is having swap's UUID change when installing a 2nd/3rd distrib on the same HD. Someone said earlier "I can't imagine any case where an filesystem UUID change "by the face", I think this is not possible if you didn't execute any filesystem command to do it." and cannot but +1 the comment because the UUID is held in a partition's superblock. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
