The effect on my system's grub.cfg is to turn all the lines that looked like: linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-18-amd64 root=UUID=fedcbaff-1234-5678-ab90-ffee88771234 ro quiet into: linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-18-amd64 root=/dev/sda4 ro quiet and I don't see how that helps your using LABELs. (The last thing I want is the kernel's "randomly" chosen device names.) Or does this mean that the functionality for handling LABELs has been added to the scripts in /etc/grub.d/, in which case I would be questioning why it wasn't activated with: GRUB_ENABLE_LINUX_LABEL=true rather than: GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true Cheers, David.
