Some do, when they issue a df command, and the result is a mess of unidentifiable UUIDs.

Which is why, after an install, one of the first things I do is to restore /etc/fstab to an understandable format, ridding it of all the UUID crap.

And edit etc/default/grub uncommenting the line
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
then running # update-grub2

So that my / partition gets mounted as /dev/sda1

Cheers,

Ron.
