Translations:Fstab/14/en
From Manjaro
I.E. only one of the above lines should be present in your fstab file to mount the ESP partition, but any of them will work! However it is strongly recommended to use the UUID as that is globally unique!. This means that if your move a disk to another machine, it will keep its UUID and there is no opportunity for surprises like the computer you've moved the existing disk to suddenly:
- booting from the EFI System Partition on the new disk instead of its own ESP
- failing to mount its own Windows partition because you just added another one and this takes precedence (or not: depending on the exact kernel version and filesystem driver resulting in a boot only working 50% of the time and other weird problems)
- failing to mount a disk because the disk you just inserted into M2 slot #1 gets named /dev/sda and the one in slot #2 which used to be called /dev/sda now suddenly becomes /dev/sdb.
- etc, etc.
