Now that is a good reason. AFAIK, as of the newer kernels (forget
which release) all drives are now sdX, so this issue becomes moot. I
can see why UUID is a good idea, but a LABEL is much easier to read.
Well, my Kubuntu system runs 2.6.20 and havs everything as sdX (when it
was hdX before), and my Debian system runs 2.6.18 and still has hdX,
some somewhere in-between.
Problem with labels is if the label is not set at format time, what
should the system set the label as? Some random string? Label is not a
required setting when you format the partition.
Yes, I believe it is the 2.6.20 that changed it.
Now, I run a self compiled kernel and still have a HDD showing up as
hdc. However, I did notice that there were new experimental ATA/SATA
drivers in the kernel, which I also compiled in, but maybe the kernel is
still using the old drivers? Time for and experiment I think :).
