If anyone even had their drive changed from /dev/hda to /dev/sda due to linux changing how they labeled ide drives they will know why people use UUID instead of the device name . Also, it is not guaranteed that they drives will always come up in the same order between kernel releases(This is my personal opinion). -- John _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
