Can I use those names for fstab, too?
Another option for the fstab is to use volume labels (-L option in mkfs.ext2 or mkfs.jfs and -l option in mkreiserfs) which i like at most. My fstab at example looks so: .. LABEL=archroot / jfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime 1 1 LABEL=archboot /boot ext2 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 1 2 LABEL=home /home reiserfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime,notail 0 2 .. My external drive (1 partition with reiserfs) which has usb and firewire has a volume label too. So i doesn't matter how i connect it to the pc. I'm not an expert but from my experience there be only advantages to use it.
