Cover letter [wic][PATCH v2 0/9] UUID support
Hi,
Please, review implementation of partition UUID support in wic.
It contains two options: --part-type and --use-uuid --part-type allows to set partition type UUID. It was incorrectly implemted in wic and now it's hopefully fixed.
--use-uuid makes wic to generate random globally unique identifier (GUID) for the partition and configure bootloader to boot from it using root=PARTUUID=<GUID> in kernel command line.
This technique makes boot process more deterministic and reliable for at least two reasons:
- It allows to boot the same image from different devices
- It fixes possible boot issues caused by using device names in kernel commandline as GUID doesn't change unlike device names.
