Talking of fstab, does anybody want to explain why mine looks like
this now:-
# /dev/sda5 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
UUID=2350b9c8-c62a-4c50-b494-6c7db3438192 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

If I wanted to add a new drive, how on earth would I know what UUID
to use? Also, given a UUID, how would I know which drive and/or
partition it pertains to.
