Boot sequence on Ubuntu 14.04

[Amichai Rotman]

Just a shot in the dark:

I think that some time after 10.04, the fstab entries refer to the devices
by their UUID, instead of  /dev/sdX.

Amichai.

>> Currently I setup the services on this server manually including:
>> mount -rw,remount /
>> mountall
>> networking
>> ifup -a // Had to do it separately.
>> smbd
>> nmbd
>> ssh
>> postgresql-8.4
>> apache2

>> the server is running in full but I guess it has some security issues.

>>
>> Will appreciate some good reading on the subject.
