Description Erich Eickmeyer 2020-09-06 19:19:42 UTC

Description of problem:
When installing Fedora Workstation 33 using btrfs, Anaconda (or blivet) populates /etc/fstab with the btrfs partition's logical location (/dev/sdxy) as opposed to UUID. This creates problems when Fedora is installed onto an external drive and that drive is moved to a different computer with a different configuration as it renders it unable to boot on that computer. This problem does not exist in my testing on the KDE spin or the Fedora Jam spin.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
33.25.2-1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt btrfs installation of Workstation onto external drive.
2. Boot new installation on installation computer.
3. Move external drive to a different computer and attempt to boot.

Actual results:
With /etc/fstab populated with the logical location (/def/sdxy), installation on external drive fails to boot.

Expected results:
Installation on external drive boots without issue.


Additional info:
This should be as simple as populating /etc/fstab with the UUID of the btrfs partition as opposed to the /dev/sdxy of the partition. This issue is only reproducible on Workstation.

Sounds like a dup of bug 1860602.
