[coLinux-users] physical partitions and UUIDs

[David C. <da...@pa...>]

Hi,

[1]

My system has three physical drives, and I find that if I want to 
reference partitions in colinux, then I can configure a partition as 
follows:

sdb8=\Device\Harddisk1\Partition6

That works, but if I reboot windows, then I've seen Windows' hard disk 
numeric order change, and it may not work in the future.

For example, on a previous boot, that same partition appeared as:

sdb8=\Device\*Harddisk2*\Partition6

...so referencing these partitions in this way doesn't reliably work, 
since windows can swap the disk numbers around from boot to boot.

How can I get it to work with ext3 and ntfs UUIDs ?

I find that cofs devices don't always work either...I've had the 
following mounting an NTFS partition on another drive from the one where 
the actual windows C: is found:

cofs0=C:\

Any way of binding that to a UUID too?
