As changing the UUID of a partition also implies to change the references to it, for example in fstab, I opened Bug #996443 suggesting that UUID=0 meant "the UUID of the partition this reference is in", "this partition, "myself", solving 90%+ of such cases.
I think that the effects of not changing the UUID during a copy are just to obscure, that changing it should be the default, changeable option but that the user should be warned by a dialog that can be easily disabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737387 Title: gparted should offer option to change UUID when copying partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gparted/+bug/737387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
