Ever accidentally > add a disk to a machine that has the same labels as the existing disks? Maybe what we need is a UUID for the machine so that it won't automatically mount the disks from another machine. This could be done in one of two ways. One is for the system to know the UUID, the other is for the configuration system to just append a UUID when creating labels for mount-by-label. It would be really good if we could have something similar for software RAID (it would be a real bummer if you booted with a new disk installed only to find that it had the same RAID-1 device as your root file system but with a higher access count). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
