This though is quite problematic when the there are multiple disks on the same subsystem, think of a board with multiple SD card readers and / or eMMC: the same image could be put in mmcblk0, mmcblk1 or mmcblk2. Same goes for USB / Sata disk on sda, sdb, etc. Alternative mounting ways are now supported (by label, by gpt-label, by UUID): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab#Identifying_filesystems It would be easier if wic could give more freedom to the developer, maybe allowing him to just freely enter the string for the <device> field for the fstab. Think of: wic ... --device="LABEL=/recovery" ... Afterall --ondisk is not currently used that much, it's just ignored for boot and root partitions. 81351 1 kexin.hao 2018-08-15 02:45:03 +0000 Hi Diego, Have you tried "--use-uuid" parameter? 81467 2 diego.ml 2018-08-31 13:53:54 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Hi Diego, > > Have you tried "--use-uuid" parameter? IIRC I tried but it didn't work, and I haven't investigated exactly why. Nonetheless label or gpt-label support would be nice anyway. 81481 3 kexin.hao 2018-09-02 09:01:32 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > Hi Diego, > > > > Have you tried "--use-uuid" parameter? > > IIRC I tried but it didn't work, and I haven't investigated exactly why. As I know several boards supported by meta-yocto-bsp use the "--use-uuid" parameter, all of them work pretty well. Could you provide more details about the scenario you use this parameter? > > Nonetheless label or gpt-label support would be nice anyway. There already has the support for the label. Please see the "--label" parameter. 81489 4 diego.ml 2018-09-03 12:01:19 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #2) > > (In reply to comment #1) > > > Hi Diego, > > > > > > Have you tried "--use-uuid" parameter? > > > > IIRC I tried but it didn't work, and I haven't investigated exactly why. > > As I know several boards supported by meta-yocto-bsp use the "--use-uuid" > parameter, all of them work pretty well.

I think I last tested when I originally reported this issue, so ~1 year ago, if I remember correctly no fstab entry was created. Glad it works for some boards, I'll give it another shot and open a proper bug issue if it still doesn't work for me. > > > > > Nonetheless label or gpt-label support would be nice anyway. > > There already has the support for the label. Please see the "--label" > parameter. The '--label' parameter doesn't create an fstab entry as far as I know, so it is not related to what this feature request issue is about. 81490 5 diego.ml 2018-09-03 12:13:46 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > (In reply to comment #3) > > (In reply to comment #2) > > > (In reply to comment #1) > > > > Hi Diego, > > > > > > > > Have you tried "--use-uuid" parameter? > > > > > > IIRC I tried but it didn't work, and I haven't investigated exactly why. > > > > As I know several boards supported by meta-yocto-bsp use the "--use-uuid" > > parameter, all of them work pretty well.
