Isn't a disk label a fs level ID (I create=20 those when I make my fs)? Using UUID in fstab for quite awhile=20 here (due to multiple external drives), but those aren't disk=20 labels... are they? It seems there are two subjects here, one to address in the=20 section of preparing disks and one for setting up fstab. Unless of course I'm missing something, which is entirely=20 possible... --=20 caveat utilitor=20 =E2=99=AB =E2=9D=A4 =E2=99=AB =E2=9D=A4 =E2=99=AB =E2=9D=A4 =E2=99=AB=20
