I just added a new hard-drive to my system. I created an ext3 partition and used vol_id and blkid to show the UUID. Based on that information, I edited the /etc/fstab file accordingly. When I try the sudo mount -a command, I get
mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/*the uuid of the new partition* does not exist
and the mount fails.
To resolve that, just use
sudo partprobeIt updates the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory and your uuid mount works like a charm.

That doesn’t work in Ubuntu Linux
It works, trust me. Did you try it?
No, doesn’t work in ubuntu server 8.04. Anybody knows how to get it working?
Thank you so much for this. Worked in Ubuntu server 8.04 after I finally got around to partitioning my new hard drive. If it didn’t work, make sure you got the UUID correct by checking the output of blkid.
