[gentoo-user] GPT UUID fstab

[gentoo-user] GPT UUID fstab

[James]

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting a new install to boot. It's a recent Gigabit
mobo, which supports EFI. I looked at the bios and all looks fine but it
could be a misconfigure in the bios setting? 


It's a simple setup for now (/boot / and swap)  When using gparted, I
selected GPT but made sure the  boot flag was also set for the /boot
partition. I check the UUIDs using blkid


Here's the /etc/fstab (note shown here as 2 lines but single lines
in the fstab file):

  /dev/sda1  UUID=413ede34-4638-4c54-80a1-8de5343d8cfd  
  /boot  / ext2   defaults,noatime,nodiratime

  /dev/sda2 UUID=f85e16fb-76e3-4284-ab10-c0680ecc6b15  
  swap swap defaults 0 0

  /dev/sda3 UUID=4d847c6f-696c-4449-85ea-d985f1b3affb 
  / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime

Any ideas where I went astray? Trying not to use the MBR
on this GPT EFI system with a single 2T drive.


Maybe somebody could post a simple GPT EFI UUID example fstab

Use either UUID or device in fstab, not both.
