Re: VMware templates and Disk UUID in Squeeze

Hello
We are currently upgrading our Lenny machines to Squeeze. We use VMware
almost exclusively. In the upgrade, Squeeze prefers using UUID in the fstab
file. Initially I saw nothing wrong with this, until I installed my new
template VM's. For fun I provisioned 2 VM's and to my annoyance they have
the same UUIDs as the template for each of the partitions.

I was wondering if anyone see potential problems with this? I.e. all future
VM's based on this template with the same disk UUID?

This is a VMware guest deployment issue, not a Linux issue. Such UUID issues are well documented in the VMware forums.
