That makes sense. Output on my system is as follows:-
philip@mistral:~$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2006-12-23 16:08 2350b9c8-c62a-4c50-b494-6c7db3438192 -> ../../sda5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2006-12-23 16:08 43b17893-e4b2-4251-adc2-8c00af6b716f -> ../../sda3

I suppose if I ever add an extra drive I can use the old convention
first, then update fstab with the uuid to give me the advantage of
swapping cables in future.
Thanks for the input. I may have to blog this so that I can
remember.
