On my home machine today, I decided to change how the filesystems are listed
in /etc/fstab from the standard /dev/name to FS labels:
LABEL=ROOT / ext2 defaults 1 1
LABEL=USR /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
I did this mostly because I started to move partitions around a bit
this morning. The labels, of course, work fine on my non-RAID home
setup, but I started pondering what would happen on my mirrored server
disks since there would be 3 devices with the same FS label (md#, sda#,
and sdb# in my case) for each mount point.
Does anyone know how the tools would handle this situation? I'd assume that
given a list of devices and labels, the RAID devices would come up first, and
then the individual partitions, but I'm not sure how this works WRT mount,
fsck, etc.
Any ideas? Thanks.
