It is possible, but not as daX. Use the glabel(8) utility to label
your disks. They will show up as /dev/label/<yourlabel>
On 7.0-PRERELEASE, 'options GEOM_LABEL' is built into of the GENERIC
kernel, so it shouldn't be necessary there.
Note that you can use UFS (and other filesystems labeling) too: for
example. 'newfs -L bobs_disk' will cause the device containing it to appear
as /dev/ufs/bobs_disk.
This approach may be better for removable disks; it'll play better with
other OSs, for example.
I simply put
/dev/da0s1 /PenDrive msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0
on fstab. After I plug it in, I type
mount /PenDrive. In KDE, I use Kwikdisk to mount it.
Maybe I am missing something, but I don't think that is what the OP
was asking - just a mount moiunt. I think the OP wants the
/dev/da0s1 to always be /dev/da0s1 even if he switches the drives
around in physical drive slots.
Yup, that's what I wanted. For the drive to always appear as /dev/da0 (or
anything similar). The glabel feature (and newfs labelling feature too)
are exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a ton for all the replies. Much appreciated. :)
