Hi all, This is with regards to an issue in the documentation of Openstack Swift and mostly an issue to system administrators operating Swift.(Sorry if the subject tags are wrong!!) In the Swift Multiserver docs, When setting up an object storage server, the docs tell to use the disk labels in the disk's /etc/fstab entries. eg: /dev/sda /srv/node/sda xfs noatime.............
I feel that we should encourage people to use UUIDs rather than disk labels. I have had a lot of issues with my Swift storage servers crashing whenever I reboot them. I have found out that the issue is with the /etc/fstab as the disk labels change whenever a disk is removed or added(depends on the OS's "mood" i.e boot order).
I don't want to change my ring configuration every time I reboot my storage servers.
Thank you
