Appropriate documentation is *NEVER* irrelevant, and using labels as documentation is one very valid operational technique. A good label can add redundancy, speed identification and understanding, and reduce the chances for making expensive mistakes. > ... the answer has been that partition ordering on disk is no > longer a very crucial thing to configure manually. It's still crucial for Rescue mode (the root partition of the System to Rescue is chosen from a list containing items such as "sda3, <label>") and for interoperability with other OS, including all previous Fedora. Twice already I've had to use Rescue mode on Fedora 9 Beta installations because of installation mishaps. Trying to select the right partition by UUID _only_ would be a usability disaster for Rescue mode. The list of UUIDs would have to be recorded in advance, etc. Rescue Mode is one place where good labels really shine. -- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
