I don't understand the issue (I do have long > fstab files) Consider all these fstab entries that might cause the exact same partition to mount to the exact same location (note that in Fedora 7, the first of the 5 is invalid-not using libata for PATA is not an option): /dev/hda21 /disks/hda/fedora ext3 noauto,acl 0 0 LABEL=S12A-21fedora /disks/hda/fedora ext3 noauto,acl 0 0 UUID=7e303340-8ab6-4839-847e-260b9717c4a6 /disks/hda/fedora ext3 noauto,acl 0 0 ID=ata-ST3120814A_5LS0EPFV-part21 /disks/hda/fedora ext3 noauto,acl 0 0 PATH=pci-0000:00:1f.1-ide-0:0-part21 /disks/hda/fedora ext3 noauto,acl 0 0 >From CLI: 1-The old way, how fast could you mount the partition you remember is #21 on the first PATA disk? (e.g. mount /dev/hda21) 2-The libata way, how fast can you mount the partition you remember is #21 on the first PATA disk? How would you do it? In addition, which one of those 5 possible entries to you prefer to have in your own (long) fstab(s)? -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
