Hi,
I took a hard drive from a windows box, formatted in NTFS and plugged it
into my xUbuntu Intrepid.
I dont know what component autodetects the UUID (udev?), but it has
created a /dev/disk/by-uuid/9050842050840EE2 (which is the UUID of the
NTFS partition)
Then, I made a mkfs.ext3 on it and thus it has changed the UUID.
My UUID is know: 9f04af4c-2e18-4fea-868f-a68991483734
when editing fstab and mounting the partition:

# mount /malalaka
mount: special device
/dev/disk/by-uuid/9f04af4c-2e18-4fea-868f-a68991483734 does not exist

Yes, there was no /dev/disk/by-uuid/9f04af4c-2e18-4fea-868f-a68991483734
And the /dev/disk/by-uuid/9050842050840EE2 was still there.

I had to make a:
# rm /dev/disk/by-uuid/9050842050840EE2
# invoke-rc.d udev restart
to have /dev/disk/by-uuid/9f04af4c-2e18-4fea-868f-a68991483734

Then mounting it was OK.
Bug? Just a side effect of udev automation?
I wont have to plug drives many times, so it's a use case specific
problem. just want to share and know if it's a bug.

So you hot-plugged it? Do you have hot-plug hardware?

No. I forgot to precise, it is a SATA 3"1/2 drive.
I turned down the system plugged and restarted.

Or, the usual way:
$> sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

I think you did the right think by restarting udev. The reformatting of
the partition changed its UUID and a udev was required to make the
relevant changes in /dev/disk/by-uuid/<NEW UUID>

Regards.

Why didn't the reboot do this? That's what I was wondering.... and I
think the OP as well.

I don't think OP mentioned that he rebooted after the changing the
partitions and making the ext3 filesystem. Did I miss that in the
original post?

Come to think of it - he said he rebooted after installing it, not
after reformatting it....
That was in his second post.

Ah, yes. Didn't see that post.

Something doesn't seem to be right here. I have experience with
restarting udev with newly created partitions and it has worked.
Rebooting should work just as well since udev is started.

Wonder if this would have worked

OP - you still here?
