I can remember scsi devices changing just because I loaded SCSI emulation (no longer necessary) to burn a CD-R. I've moved disks around on IDE bus because certain operating system insisted in being installed to the master - with disk labels, all I had to do was tell the bios to boot from the slave and not the master - and everything just worked. It's a great idea. I think a unique identifier (such as a time stamp) as part of the string put into the LABEL would make it more user friendly (and it would solve the problem), but I like having the mount point as part of the string too. But discussing here is not going to result in anything done - someone who feels that it needs to be done needs to file an RFE so that the appropriate Red Hat people can see the request. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
