I use physical device names for internal drives.

For external raids etc. Things that may be swapped out I use the Label.

Subject: adding to fstab


All, I have created a new partition on a spare drive and want to add it to the 
fstab. I basically see three(3) different ways to do it. All work but what is 
the preferred way.

1. Use Blkid
2. Use Label
3. Use physical device (/dev/sdb1)

All seem to work fine.Any preference?
