[bug#28696] [PATCH 0/5] Support UUIDs for the EFI System Partition (FAT)

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hello!

This patch series fixes what Roel reported at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-09/msg00094.html>: it
allows users to refer to their EFI System Partition and to FAT file
systems in general by UUID.

I’ve tested it on my UEFI laptop where /boot/efi is actually FAT16, not
FAT32 (I suppose UEFI supports both).

Let me know what you think!

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (5):
  file-systems: 'mount-file-system' now takes a <file-system> object.
  file-systems: Preserve UUID types when serializing.
  file-systems: Add support for FAT16.
  uuid: Change "fat32" to "fat".
  doc: Give an example with a FAT UUID.
