the configuration, you might run into update issues later.

Section 3.2.1, “Using UUIDs to Assemble
or Activate File System Devices,” on
page 32
The device ID assigned by the manufactuer for a drive never
changes, no matter where the device is mounted, so it can
always be found at boot. The UUID is a property of the
filesystem and can change if you reformat the drive.
