Yes, mount goes through all the block devices probably starting with the first SCSI disk. If it's looking for a UUID and finds it on /dev/sda3, that's the one it'll use, even if the same UUID is on /dev/sdb1 . I think. IIRC, the label detection code in mount did that the last time I looked at it.<div class="quoted-text"><br class="">

If you know you want to have the same UUID on 2 filesystems, you can use "dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdNN | grep UUID" , then pass the big hex string to the -U option of mkfs when you're making the new filesystem. Or the -U option of tune2fs if you've already done mkfs and copied stuff.<br class="">

IMHO, using filesystem labels is preferable to using UUIDs in /etc/fstab . Labels can be made short and meaningful to humans, while UUIDs really can't. (OK, -U feedface-dead-beef-0000-123456<wbr class="">789abc works, but is silly.) Distros probably go the UUID route because it's generally easy to assume that UUIDs are unique, while filesystem labels may not be.<font color="#888888" class=""><br class="">
