[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#653073: Solved for me

[Ognyan Kulev]

Hi :-)

I successfully solved the issue by:

1. setting label (tune2fs -L root /dev/...) for root fs
2. patching /etc/grub.d/10_linux using the small patch in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542170
3. adding GRUB_ENABLE_LINUX_LABEL=true to /etc/default/grub
4. running update-grub and rebooting

Now df shows the much shorter "/dev/disk/by-label/root" :-)

Regards,
