Tom, I tried install of Maverick to sda6, it failed in several ways,
made sda4 also unusable. Now using new install of 10.04 in sda5 to
answer you request.
cat /etc/fstab

If I had copied one partition to another, would that have duplicated
UUID? No clone command was used. Would sudo cp -R /dev/sda4/*
/dev/sda6, cause duplicate UUID & a system using both partitions as root
@ 1 time? Simple copy of sda4 to sda6 was done before install of kernel
2.6.35.
Partition Manager listed both partitions as / & mounted as root.
Still hard to believe a simple copy of files & directories would include
UUID & so confuse both system & user. Thanks for your attention
