XP won't even let you change the colour of your underwear without
wanting to be "authenticated" again. But stating what you did about
Ubuntu, me thinks is kinda going a tad overboard :-) .

I must say that this was the case some time ago, but no longer. All to
do with UUID I think. But then I am more wrong than right... :-( .



Apples and Oranges. The OP was talking about moving 1 hard drive to a
different machine, wich works just fine in Ubuntu as is. Your talking
about changing the harddrive in the same machine, which does require
updating fstab.


Ummm, sorry, but aren't you just getting just a bit off the mark here?

What is the difference of moving an HD from one Ubuntu running computer
to another Ubuntu running computer - where it will be an unrecognised
device - to putting in a new HD on "the same machine" where it will be
an unrecognised device?

What am I missing here? And I do admit that it is my bed time.
