Odd - I see those, and by-label too. My main desktop is a little old now (about ten months old, running udev 151), but I can't see them dropping that feature. I'll have to try on an SVN build... > What do you get when you do something like 'df -h'? That shows the real device, /dev/sda1, so I admit the symlink approach isn't perfect. I mention it mostly in reply to Neal's assertion that "symlinks may only be named with character sequences that are incomprehensible to ordinary humans". Using the human-assigned volume labels seems fairly friendly to me... > Also, I like to see how my disk is organized. I will do 'fdisk -l > /dev/sda' How would you do something like this? Given that I only have the one disk, it's not too hard to remember that it's /dev/sda. That said, Gnome Disk Utility provides a very good GUI for that sort of thing - browse all storage devices, show partitioning, format voumes, etc... Simon.
