It's unique, but awfully hard to type if you need to mount something manually by that designator. FWIW, on multi-root boxes, /1, /2, /3 (or whatever the current scheme is) isn't all that helpful either. And I think (though haven't really investigated...) that something has been getting it wrong and making duplicate labels in F9. (that being said, sometimes on said boxes I do label things FC6, F7, RHEL4, etc to make things easier for me... but that's my decision as an administrator...) To a a lot of users, though, seeing "root=<scary string>" might be confusing. There should probably be a minimal education campaign if the change is made. Hm, and think of the fstab formatting issues. ;) -Eric _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
