P.S. A kind of bug report: We already have label-based partitions in fstab, but the auto-builder duplicates our manual entries with /dev/XYZ syntax. So now the fstab refers to the same partition twice.
Yes, but I personally don't see this as a bug, because therefore you have the option which version you want to use.
It is possible to boot "nofstab" but that is not desirable. We still want autodetection. What we would like: grml detects if the fstab already has a certain partition, and if so, does not add a /dev/XYZ entry.
Well, duplicates won't happen for /dev/XYZ entries, even if they are configured manually. But currently we don't recognise LABELs and UUIDs, right. I'll take a look at it whether it can be done reasonable to implement support for LABELs. I'm afraid of duplicate labels (I really don't like UUIDs in /etc/fstab on workstations) but I've to discuss the issue with the other grml-devs on next devel-meeting. Let's see what's the result.
Yes, that hits the nail on the head. The script is cool for a new system, but I have the GRML-repo on my (stock-)-Debian installation and it made some nice mess in /mnt. Mark's idea is great, I would love to see that in GRML!
The reason for "mess in /mnt": grml makes sure that you have all the directories available, which are given as target directory in /etc/fstab. But as written above I'll think about the label-stuff for fstab.
