It's that sort of crap (shuffling positions) that made me dispair of
the decision to make all Linux hard drives /dev/sd<something>.
that's why i prefer to use LVM, where the mount info is based on the
names i gave the logical volumes:
$ mount
...
/dev/mapper/f8-opt on /opt type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/f8-var on /var type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/f8-usr on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/f8-usrlocal on /usr/local type ext3 (rw)
...
and even if you're not using LVM, you can always still mount by
filesystem volume name; i just consider the "named" mount info a nice
bonus of using LVM.
Does this suffer from the same problem as filesystem labels if you
create identical names on two machines and subsequently move the volumes
to a single machine?
