Nothing I know of. Why? You have other options at the ready:
# ls -1 /dev/disk/
by-diskseq
by-id
by-label
by-partlabel
by-partuuid
by-path
by-uuid
# egrep 'swap|fat|ext' /etc/fstab | wc -l
23
# grep UUID /etc/fstab | wc -l
0
# grep LABEL /etc/fstab | wc -l
23
#
Just as seen in any recent OEM /etc/fstab, a filesystem's UUID= contains an as
unique identifier as anyone should need. I use an alternate, LABEL=, here,
easier
to remember strings shorter than the 36 characters of UUIDs, unique enough for
the
task, and totally under admin creation and control.
