I’ve never in my career ever had to type out a UUID. You don’t need to be that big to benefit from automation. Even small shops would benefit from reproducible builds. Not every system needs to have loveingly crafted artisanal partition labels. All of this is moot, though, because I use lvm and so I just use /dev/volumegroup/logicalname, and that’s all assembled automatically in the kickstart. I only ever think about uuids when dealing with UEFI issues. — Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
