I'm a little confused about use of the term "disk labels" in this discussion. Isn't a disk label a fs level ID (I create those when I make my fs)? Using UUID in fstab for quite awhile here (due to multiple external drives), but those aren't disk labels... are they? It seems there are two subjects here, one to address in the section of preparing disks and one for setting up fstab. Unless of course I'm missing something, which is entirely possible... -- caveat utilitor ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫
