Yes, I use labels for partitions as well, more for organizational reasons than addressing though, for example: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 23:38 boot -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 23:38 home -> ../../sda6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 23:38 root -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 23:38 samba -> ../../sda7 Although to be honest, I never address them by label when running disk or filesystem utilities, mostly due to RSI concerns, for instance: xfs_info /dev/sda7 is much easier on the fingers than xfs_info /dev/disk/by-label/samba -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
