a simple patch to make update-grub in ubuntu use partition labels instead of UUID
A simple patch to make update-grub in ubuntu use partition labels instead of UUID

I sometimes find myself changing my partitions once too often. Depending on UUID sometimes caused conflicts after cloning partitions, or confusion when booting on either the clone or orignal partition.

So I came to depend on labelling my partitions, and using the labels to find the correct partition to use.

This simple patch makes update-grub create the grub.cfg using labels instead of UUID during searching for the root partition to boot.

## Install ##

sudo patch -p0 -i `pwd`/grub-use-labels.patch -d /usr/share/grub
