I've always found Ubuntu's increasing use of UIIDs painful http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/05/ubuntu-uuid-how-to/ but I vaguely understand why they are doing it. IIHABM I could remember the article in LinuxFormat that explained how one uses them to mount different memory sticks as different names.

Clicking the squiggle just switches between ascending and descending order as far as I can see. Steve Hague

Oh it's a nice idea. You can completely move your system parts around and it will sort it all out for you. But I'd like it to hide it from me!
I have no fixed it, fairly easily, with /etc/fstab (I used the file manager to mount them, dumped /etc/mtab, copied the new line into /etc/fstab and changed the name). But it was a bit of a blow when it stopped working. -- Online waterways route planner: http://canalplan.org.uk development version: http://canalplan.eu

Completely moving your system parts around is extra, luv.

And so is mounting, dumping and a bit of a blow, for that matter.
