Hello Utkarsh, Thus wrote Utkarsh Anand ([email protected]): > You can use anything you like while making manual entries in /etc/fstab. On Linux: if your devices are in danger of being reordered and you try to get a rebootable system, sometimes UUID is the only and frequently the best bet. [...] > As you can see, the device changed to /dev/sdd but UUID stayed the same. On a NetBSD, the NAME= also would have stayed the same. You are missing the point I am trying to make. I am not debating that we should use identifiers on media. I am saying they should not look like this: '4fa7a5d1-0670-4c56-90d2-c4c41139194b' because using '4fa7a5d1-0670-4c56-90d2-c4c41139194b' and keeping it apart from '4fa7a5d1-0670-4c56-90d2-c4d41138194b' is not easy. They should look like "mysystem-usr-pkg" instead. regards, spz
