Don't change UUIDs when formatting partitions for install  
Written by punischdude the 29 Feb 08 at 01:03. Global category: Installation. New
Formatting partitions for a fresh Ubuntu install always changes UUIDs. This causes boot errors, especially fsck ones, on a dualboot system and starts maintenance tty1 because there are old UUIDs saved in /etc/fstab of the first Linux install.

It would be much more comfortable, if the formatting process would not change UUIDs.
