:Here's an excerpt from the linux fstab(5) manpage:
:
:--- snip ---
:
:Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or
:xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label (cf.
:e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>,
:e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'.
:This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk
:changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label.

:Wonder if something like this would make sense for DragonFly?

:Cheers,
:K.

    It would, but probably not in the fstab file.  What we really 
    need is a devfs based disk ID / serial-number / volume label
    type of thing.  Actually what we really need to do is rewrite
    devfs entirely.
