That's what i'm currently doing, i store the full URI, but also the UDI and
the partial path,
and in case HAL is not avaiable there is still the full URI present as a
current resort.

The ideal situation would be that HAL would be always available, would have
UDIs for all
volumes, and would run on all systems we need to run this to (Including
let's say Solaris,
etc), in which case it would be exactly what you said, one would need to
only store the volume
UDI and the partial path. Well anyway, repeating myself, just wanted to add
that we also
already store the full URI as a backup.
