Description: The arch install creates the /etc/fstab file using device files. This is easier to read and understand than UUIDs, but can break if I move the disk around, or the BIOS changes. In my case, I installed in onto a USB disk, and UUIDs are important to reliably booting the system on any machine.

This was with the latest install image, 2009.08
