Hi All, Some time ago there was a thread discussing the kernel parameter root=/dev/xxx. It was noted that this refers by default to an UUID. In order to remove the UUID reference, I have added “persistent_policy=by-path” to the /etc/dracut.conf file.
After rebuilding indeed the parameter is now changed. However, root is now referenced as root=/dev/dasda1. So far so good, indeed the root device is /dev/dasda1. And the system booted, most of the time. Now I have been trying to reboot the guest quite a few times, but the boot has halted every time when it wants to try to mount /sysroot. After some investigation I have found the cause. Device 100 and 101 are switched. Device 101 is now /dev/dasda and 100 is dev/dasdb. So now the swap device is to be mounted on /sysroot, obviously that fails. How can we enforce the root device to be referenced as /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0100? Based on the dracut parameter I would have expected the root device would be referenced to as by-path, but that’s not the case at this moment.
