I am trying to upgrade our GroupWise email server to SP3 en route to the latest version. I have tried it twice and each time it has failed. The problem is this. The upgrade wants all partitions to not be mounted by device ID. Well, the partition that I need to change to UUID is a vmware volume that does not have a UUID associated with it. So I proceeded with the upgrade anyway and after the reboot, of course the vmware partition does not mount. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, is there a work around or fix for it? Thanks.

Not necessarily as I think the SP3 refers to a SLES (or possibly OES)  
release rather than GroupWise.
